Good morning Dora the one booklet `s which name i can`t recall exactly was Braiding & ?????? published by Dover ,, try and have a look through their publications. Braiding is in a way Mini weaving , hence in many weaving books you find how to finnish the hanging ends of warp and they show ideas how to braid them .. "Fun with String Figures"is about a kind of braiding that does notstay , but it teaches you how the ups and dows of strings go By W.w. Rouse Ball, Dover 1971. Weaving without a Loom By Sarita R Rainey, davis publications , No date, Is about other kinds of weaving , and is also about looking at threads and how they combine ... I think there was ad lately in one of the mags either piecework or fiberart about a whole books with braids maybe you look up in Interweave publications mirjam



After you have more than 7-9 threads it might be adviseable , not to start your braid with one knot , but nake a small chain [ even with finger , thread each thread on oe separate cahin , by this you braiding will get flatter from start.
