What do to when the beads you want to use have holes that are too small for the desired fiber or the beads are too big for the disk. A clever way to turn a round braid flat. How to braid with two hole beads. How to cover up a mistake. And since everyone else has gone nuts with 3-D, we've even added the third dimension to kumihimo. We introduce some new patterns and add a pretty twist to an old favorite. Suitable for all levels of braiders.

I think the previous reviewer missed the point of the book. While the book has a lot of pretty designs for the beginner, I think the book is more about the braider who wants to design on their own. There is really clever stuff in this book. I love being able to change color mid braid. This is something I've never seen in another book. I've always wondered how to handle beads with small holes and she solves the problem easily. The scarf pattern may not be for everyone, but the flat braid that it is based on is genius. This is going to be my go to Christmas gift book. I love to braid and Karen hasn't let me down yet. New braiding patterns and how to make the basic round look unique. What more could you want?Product details

Braiding with Beads 2 Braiding Solutions for the Kumihimo Disk edition by Karen DeSousa Crafts Hobbies Home eBooks Reviews
Great book for anyone already familiar with Kumihimo. This book takes it to the next level, and gives the reader the tools to start designing their own patterns.
I had hoped for a few more designs and directions on different items to make. The ones that were included in the book were a winner though. I did make the one on the cover and it is a very attractive piece and I get a lot of compliments.
Great technic book for library, have them all!
$22 for basically a large pamphlet. What a scam!!!!
This pamphlet, I can't really call it a book, is much too expensive for the actual amount of instruction included in it. It says it is 36 pages long but the front and back covers are counted as pages. The inside front cover and table of contents take up 2 more pages. Then there are 6 pages of very basic instruction on how to braid. I didn't expect something this basic in a Book 2. Book 1 of the series yes, book 2, no. The following 28 pages consist of 16 pages of instruction, 11 pages of full page pictures and the back cover. So, for me, the pamphlet cost $18 and contained only 16 pages of actual instruction. I have seen some of these techniques for free on the internet. I would not recommend this very pricey pamphlet and will not buy any other pamphlets by this author. I was quite impressed with the book by Rebecca Ann Combs titled Kumihimo Basics and Beyond. For the same price, you get a very thorough, high quality book (95 pages and that does not include the covers in the page count).
I just received my copy and I am VERY PLEASED with it. Up until now, I have stuck to the basic round braid (all I ever learned), but armed with Karen's book, I have tried new patterns and they have turned out great! Money is tight so I love that I can always count on her books to show me how to make something unique. I love the embellished braid--it has given me all sorts of ideas. Plus I like all the helpful hints and tricks too--they are practical and easy to follow. Her instructions are clear and the pictures really show what to expect. I also like that it is not a big fancy hardback book where the pages are pretty but pointless. I have bought those and have sent them back. This book really shows you how to do things and point out ways to make it your own. It gives me inspiration. Thanks Karen!
I was really looking forward to receiving this book as I "thought" myself to be above the beginner stage when it came to the beaded Kumihimo technique. While the designs are absolutely beautiful, I am a visual learner and need more than just the finished product picture and some text to accompany it. I'm sure the author meant to be a little "vague" with her instructions to allow for experimentation and creativity by the individual designer, I need something spelled out more before I start ad libbing with the design. I did find the calculation chart at the beginning of the book quite helpful and her writing style is good. There's a tip about putting multiple strands on a big eye needed to string beads simultaneously, but doesn't show how this is accomplished via a few pictures - it was just a couple of sentences. Would be a great hint, but I need more. Great designs, though, for the more advanced intermediate Kumihimo addict who may understand what she is talking about simply from her text.
