Kumiloom Square Braid

This is a short demo of a square braid on the Kumiloom. It's really easy to setup and the finished braid is nice and tight.

How many strings did you use? Reply please :)

@MissKpopAddicts

I use a silk cord that is 2mm in diameter.

8 Strand of Silk Cord.

I really appreciate your clear, instructional video, but seriously...music accompanying videos like that should be seen and not heard. Or nominated in a new You Tube competition for "worst ever" or "most annoying" music on a video...On that basis alone you'd get a million hits...sorry, Jus8Crawfish, but there's a really good reason this kind of music is rarely or never played on any kind of media. Ever. Spoilt a great tutorial. So completely unnecessary.

I do appreciate and invite constructive criticism from those who wish to share their knowledge and experience so that others may learn; however, your criticism regarding the music associated with my video is utterly precocious. The video is meant to be an instructional aid for those who are learning and not for music appreciation. If the genre selected is abrading, then let me remind you that there is a way to mute the audio for the video. Oh yes, I wanted to thank you for watching.

I love the music!!!

@whitehorse2006

Thanks.... It's the music I grew up listening to.

@Jus8Crawfish Letting video posters know that their accompanying sound track is distracting or intrusive or detracts from their video is constructive criticism, by the way. You probably don't realize how many videos get stopped before they even start because of music or soundtrack issues, from the listener's perspective. From where you stand, it might seem people have watched because they started the video - but they won't favorite if noise assaults them. Of course, you can't please everyone :)

Yay zydeco! Thanks for the video :)

how do you end the bracelet?

Love the music! Tutorial is good too, but didn't follow it the first time as I was too busy dancing...

A well made instructional video. Would have liked to see a version of the end product at the beginning of the video, too, in case I was looking for something different. I like the music although I did find it a bit loud but a few keystrokes to lower my computer volume did the trick. Did not want to mute in case there was any verbal instructions. Good job! Got a vid on making jambalaya or etouffee? That would definitely need this music!

[gmayer66]

What threads/strings are you using? Thanks!

[Kayenne54]

@Jus8Crawfish One can't mute the sound, just in case there is voice over with further explanations. Thank you for the clear tutorial though, at least visually. I was trying to point out that some music draws negative reactions, and some music enhances upon the visuals. The more successful videos have accompanying sound or music that makes the whole experience more enjoyable. I didn't find this so in this case. However I apologize for the negative comments. Could have put it better.

@Kayenne54 You are demonstrating to know anything about music. The tune that you are listening to takes part of the folk history of the US. This style is called 'Kajun' and you may don't like it but it deserves all our respect because it takes part of the traditions and history of the countries of the world. Next time just try to get information around and be more positive when criticising.
