Hi Bev, I had never known "the Correct" Name for the art, I do macrame' and have done the chinese Crown knot it sounds similar, I now realize that the crown knot must be one in the group of "Kumihomo" I had thought it was a macrame' knot, you are right it is addictive........I actually live in Sandwich exit #3, about an hour 10min (off season) to Boston, I usually head West up the Mass pike to see the Grands! their wrists are full of Jewelry, macrame and the everpresent Friendship Bracelet! Thank you for sharing. I would like to add you to my friends list if you don't mind? I'll send you the formal request, this is fun......got to run have one more item to finish tonight.
TCB, jAN

Janice, Magnetlady28 aka Bev here. Kumihimo is Japanese braiding. Ever do friendship bracelets? Very similar. The "real" way is to do it on a maurdai. I do it on a foam disk. You can use just plain fiber cords or add seed beads. I have some examples on my blog and web site if you want to look. I think you would like it. However, be aware it can be addicting.
HI, YOU LOOK GREAT FOR YOUR AGE "107", I'M 99 ON "MY SPACE PAGE", AND ONLY 52 HERE, i THINK SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN MIGHT BE NICE.......A LADY AFTER ALL NEVER TELLS HER AGE, OR SHOULD SHE BE ASKE IT~i HAVE ONE QUESTION FOR YOU I DON'T KNOW WHAT "Kumihomo" IS. CAN YOU EXPLAIN.
