In the photo, you can see the threading file on the monitor. I've taken the threading draft, turned it, and made the tieup lift just one shaft at a time. That way, I can treadle the threading and be sure to pick a heddle from the correct shaft and have each thread in its proper order.
In other news, the kumihimo key fob collection has been proliferating. I'm hoping a few of these sell at the Paso Robles ArtFest. I've been having fun trying out different color order variations of the basic 2-color, 8-strand braid.

Nice kumihimo, it's addicting isn't it? If you're interested, there's a cheat sheet at http://www.granholme.org/as_kumihimo.htm for the starting positions to get each pattern. There's also a three color version on the site.
