This week has been a long one as I was sick for a few days but have finally been able to bounce back over the weekend. Today I was able to sit down and do some braiding and find another online resource to add to the growing list. The animated knots website is a cool resource that has instructions and animations on how to do many different types of braids and knots. While their instructions are done with ropes, the basic idea is still the same so it fits well with the project.
More than halfway through the semester and I am feeling a lot more natural at braiding and I am happy to say my finger stamina has gone up quite a bit too. I did not expect to have tired and sore fingers from braiding but it happened haha. Now with the additional routine of washing the hair before each time and using the spray bottle to keep it damp it has become a lot smoother of a process.
My goals for the next few weeks is too practice at least 3 times a week then attempt to braid my partners hair towards the end of the month! Her hair is super long so I know it will be a challenge having tried before and failed miserably. But this time I will have had a lot more practice under my belt and not feel like I have no idea what I am doing.
