Spiral braid

I'm still making braids like mad. Just one of them...

It's my favorite of the week, a 12 strand spiral made from 1mm satin cording.

I've been weaving most mornings for at least a few minutes. I'm about 10 inches into my second band and it is going fine.....I think. I say, I think, because I didn't realize I had a problem with the first one until I cut it off the loom. This one is wider, 20 cards. I didn't realize how much harder it would be to turn the cards. Half the time I am just having to split the deck and turn in sections. I have carpal tunnel and small hands working against me, so I just have to break things down into smaller bites.

The first band I played a lot but it came out rather cute The edging is too loose so I am working on correcting that problem with the second band.
