I love to boost posts with photos of textile work, but only if they have alt-texts.

Thanks for the original post! Here's one of the things she wrote about ethnomathematics and braids. The activities at the end are simple, but clear, which as a teacher means we can fold them into an existing lesson or expand them. Gotta love when math is all around us. math.buffalo.edu/mad/special/g

Getting back to work means I have to do actual work and not watch sweaty meaty men slap each other.

Thankfully I keep my hands busy braiding while I watch sweet, sexy, violence.

Gotta buy more wood....

Santa brought me a marudai, 16 tama, and a book about kumihimo. A new rabbit hole opens!

and actually managed to churn out my first cord!

I've seen before but weaving is more interesting to me, I like braiding by hand and what would I do with those cords? Well, weaving has more involved setup and needs more light, I found that braiding thin yarns hurts my pinkies because they have to be bent out of the way the whole time. And, I can braid candle wicks 😎 And also can print the tool easily if I'm lucky to have 1.5h of power straight. So welcome to the flock of my hobbies 😉
