Temari #3. Kiku Herringbone Beginner Temari Part 1
I have joined the group online and now I am ready to join the KIKU HERRINGBONE Beginner Temari. Our first Temari in this challenge is very easy as compared to the 2nd part.
Part 1 we have learned how to begin the base of the Temari ball but using one of several choices. I chose to use a 3" styrofoam center. Then came the wrap around the center using some left over knitting worsted thread. When the size we needed had been reached, then came wrapping and wrapping using thread, I chose black. According to the instructions, then next step brought out our very pretty choice of crochet cotton. I chose a pretty white semi-medium thread that was wrapped so beautifully with a rainbow-colour of metallic thread.
My final wrap brought the mari to a 25cm size. Was request to work on a 23 cm but Instruction told me this is just a fine size will expand the pattern a bit larger.
Part 1: This is a C8 guideline division so that the pattern could be easily worked.
I have used a bright pink crochet cotton so that it will stand out beautifully in contrast from the Petal Layers
Layer 1: I chose to use a very thing thread on a skein from a friend (Jean Cuk) in my online group. This thread I found to be very thin for this size of Temari. It would be much nicer on a smaller Mari.
Layer 2: I chose to use some beautifully hand=dyed thread from my friend Kalia Calhoun in Richmond, Va. I met her also in this same group. We actually became great friends and Temari sharers.

To finish this ball I made an OBI by circling the ball 5 rounds on one side of the Equator (bright pink) then repeating 5 rounds on the other side.
To complete this OBI, I wrapped the variegated (purple, blue, pink) dyed thread a further 5 rounds on each side.
To tie these colours together and come back to the C8 guidelines, I went around the ball forming an "X" between the outline guide lines around the mari from the beginning shaping.
