Last week, we attended the “Armistice” event up at Cooper’s Lake Campground. Informally called “Pretendsic”, this was the event that the campground decided to run on their own after the SCA’s Pennsic War was cancelled again. It was a much smaller and informal version of a war, with no organized battles and many fewer classes. We did not even camp up there most nights, and brought all our own food. We spent a lot of time in camp braiding, and I completed these four braids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Four Kute-Uchi Braids from Armistice<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

All four braids were made using kute-uchi<\/em> hand-loop braiding. The two inner braids are Mitake-gumi<\/em> 10-loop rectangular braids, both using a single ply of acrylic yarn for each loop. The two outer braids are Maru-genji-gumi<\/em> 16-loop round braids. The inner of the two uses a single ply of acrylic yarn for each loop, and the outer uses two plies of cotton crochet thread for each loop. To keep the loops together in bundles for the 2-ply braid, I used rope kute<\/em> handles. These were all braided while seated on a bench, and I used my toes to beat the stitches if the braids were too long for manual tightening.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
