I'm not too sure about the close repetition of "braiding" and "braid."

Me either, but I couldn't come up with anything else that really worked
there. I'm no fan of redundancy, so I'll continue to work on that.

I ran into this problem in an early chapter of "Drunkard's Walk II".
"Plait" is a good synonym, and not uncommon, and comes in handy.
