I think we have plans. Plus, the last several weeks have been pretty stressful, and this week doesn’t look much better in the lead up to Barony Twelfth Night and I don’t think I’m going to be able to deal with a three hour trip to Cleveland and back on top of everthing else. :-(</div><div class="">Have fun, all.<br class=""><div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Jan 7, 2019, at 12:01 PM, Ishiyama Gen'tarou Yori'ie <<a href="mailto:ishiyama@ee0r.com" class="">ishiyama@ee0r.com</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><div class="">Debatable braiding enthusiasts,<br class=""><br class="">I am considering driving out to the Cleftlands for this non-SCA study group meeting.

We will be doing a<br class="">study of counterweight in braiding, led by Carolyn Haushalter. Because we<br class="">will all set up for this braiding project together, we will meet from 1:30<br class="">to 5:30.<br class=""><br class="">For materials you will need something soft in bundles or the weight change<br class="">won’t show as effectively. Carolyn suggests lace-weight yarn with no<br class="">elastic or nylon content; perle cotton; crochet nylon in size 5 or smaller;<br class="">Imposter; or silk. If you want to use embroidery floss pre-cut skeins,<br class="">Carolyn suggests 3 skeins per tama. The bundles of the other materials<br class="">should be fairly thick, approximately 20 ends per tama. 15-20 ends is a<br class="">good number. Starting length should be 70 inches and we’ll mark for a<br class="">weight change every six inches.<br class=""><br class="">Note: rattail should not be used as it won’t provide good results.<br class=""><br class="">As for counterweight be prepared to braid with 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%,<br class="">60%, 70%, 80%, 90% and 100% of your tama weight. So if you have 70 gram<br class="">tama and are braiding an 8 strand braid, you will need counterweights of:<br class="">56 gm (10%), 112 gm (20%), 168 gm (30%), 224 gm (40%), 280 gm (50%), 336 gm<br class="">(60%), 392 gm (70%), 448 gm (80%), 504 gm (90%), 560 gm (100%).<br class=""><br class="">Some of you have already RSVP'd but if you haven't, please let me know if<br class="">you’ll be able to join us so we’ll know how many to expect.<br class=""><br class="">Thanks,<br class=""><br class="">Jane<br class=""><br class="">--<br class="">Ishiyama Shonagon (Elliott C.
