Shelagh you are getting there, Looks great and also like this is a Kongo Gummi braid, it can be done with multiples of 4. This is the braid I have been sharing with lots of you....LOL

When you are finished braiding, boil up a kettle of water for a cup of tea and hold your braid over the steam, not your fingers just your braid gently stretching the braid while you move it back and forth over the steam. Now get a bath towel out on your kitchen counter and you dough rolling pin or an empty bottle and put your steamed braid on the towel and roll your dough pin over it. Rolling it between your hands and gently stretching the braid helps as well. It is like blocking your knitting, you are aligning the braiding stitches you made. I am waiting for the finished project, the way you are going that will be soon

Looking good, Shelagh!
