長年愛用してきたスニーカーの紐がついに切れました。実はこの紐は既に二代目です。それほどこの靴と私は相性が良いということです。靴もずいぶんくたびれているのですが、もう少し頑張ってもらおうと、三代目の紐はクテ打ちで作ることにしました。
コットンキングで、7本の重打（AB）です。90ｃｍ必要なので、長さの中央で輪にして両方へ組みました。
思った以上に素敵にできました。古びた靴も喜んでくれているのではないかな。これで足取り軽く、出かけるとしましょう。
The sneaker strings that I have been wearing for many years have finally broken. In fact, this pair is already the second generation. That means these shoes and I get along very well. The shoes themselves are very old, but I want them to last one more generation. So this time I made the strings with Kute.
I used 7 Kute and braided Shigeuchi (AB) with my favorite Cotton King. The strings have to be 90cm long. I started in the middle of the length to one end, and restarted from the middle to the other end.
I am pleased to find the finished strings much nicer than I had expected. Perhaps my old shoes are also happy. With a new pair of strings, I shall go out for a walk with light steps.
