To whom it may concern I invented a little stitch counter for kumihimo weaving because I can’t remember where I am in a pattern to save my life
Just some cardboard, yarn and as many beads as you need for that pattern

This thing fucking rules holy shit its so efficient at what it does.
Makoto Shinkai - Kimi no Nawa - Kumihimo makers
My big x-mas present this year was a marudai from Braider's Hand. It's absolutely gorgeous and I'm excited to continue my study of kumihimo.
The first braid was a simple 8-strand braid using some cotlin yarn leftover from a crochet top I'd finished earlier that day.
Making progress on both TDF and my newest weaving hobby - Kumihimo! The Marudai makes things go SO much quicker. I'm working the Makiko Tada's most recent textbook of braids. Pictures to come as I manage more braids. Also, I've been spinning this bag of Lonk for literal years now and I cannot believe the end is in sight. 500g goes a long, long way.

Kumihimo braid #2 progress pic. Same pattern, different colors.
And shoutout to the woman in my fiber arts guild who found out I am getting into kumihimo, and have me all her threads, her patterns, and some braids she made. She took classes in the 1980s and hasn't used her materials in a while, so was excited to give everything to me.
I'm learning kumihimo!
My marudai is very non-traditional. I'm not even 100% it's a marudai, but it definitely works! There isn't a well, but the lip around the central hole serves to raise the threads and I think serves the same purpose.
But I really don't know what the bottom platform is for.
Anyway -- the warping was so fast! I just used some DMC 6 strand floss I had lying around. Winding the bobbins took a little time. Getting used to"flipping" the threads when moving bobbins was somewhat tricky. I also want to hang the bobbins with a lot of thread -- this makes it easier for me to flip them but makes it significantly more likely for them to tangle.
Overall, pretty fun! I did the whole braid in a few hours this evening. My tension could be better, but that'll come with time.
Does anyone know what this is? Altoids for scale.
I thought it was a marudai but I'm not actually sure anymore.
