Not love at first try

This is what I have done with the kumihimo.  Not much done but it is a start.  I must admit that this was not totally what I expected.  Usually, I relax and I find a beat.  Even if I start something new and unknown.  Well, it didn't go that way with the kumihimo.  Some time ago, I try it but was not successful.  Now, I got some instruction and I have figured it out.  I was able to do what you see above.  The problem: I don't connect with the process.  Yes, it is slow to do.  I did other projects that took time but it was project that got me hooked to.

Now, for the kumihimo, I struggle to get hooked.  It didn't happened.  Maybe it is that I had to turn the wheel and yarn, as the instruction ask.  I don't see myself turning around that wheel.  I think I can figure a way to do it without having to turn.  Would be a solution.  Don't know if it will work in the real world.  My mind and the reality are two world apart.

 So, for the moment, I ain't hooked with the kumihimo.   I don't know if it will change in the future.  I just find it a bit sad that I don't feel the call with this technique.  Usually, I like yarn crafting.  It feel strange to encounter something that I don't get hooked.  It bring mixed emotions.  It surprising to encounter something that I don't connect.  At the same time, I wonder if I had been selective in other techniques that I learned.  Is it that I stumble on other techniques that were well suited to me?

Well, technically, I got it right on one way to use it.  It is a fail because I feel forced to continue it.  I don't go to this one project to finish it.  I try it and it is the result.  I guess I get some conclusion on this experiemnt.  I may put is aside for a little while before returning to it, just as a confirmation of my first hunches.
