pleating

My next project is to learn how to do that pleating shibori. now that i've somewhat learned how to do the small circles (i don't think it quite works with this cotton), I'm going to go onto making the pleats. I'm still feeling sick but i have to make the most of this long weekend while at home. I think I"m going to watch Naussica Valley of the Wind tonight. That's my third favourite Miyazaki movie. That shibori book is pretty complicated. BUT if you read the instructions enough, it begins to make sense. The pleating shibori seems ok. I just had to do the calculations on paper first. I'm going to try doing my first test run tomorrow.
