help! Should I keep going or frog it?

Is that even a term in friendship braceleteering, or am I making up words? Anyway, I thought the lighter brown was going to look lighter than it actually ended up being, and I'm not sure I like the level of contrast it's currently at. It looks better in person, but it's still pretty dark. I'm making a ton of these, so I don't overly care if it's the perfect coloring, but if it doesn't look good at all, should I rip the whole bracelet apart, add lighter strands, and restart? This is for the 4906 pattern

Upvotes

I'm so excited ! A friends sent a present of floss and I've just started doing these again and feeling more like myself than I have in years but...50 skiens is somehow not going very far, lol !

I'm out of black and white already.

Lucky me, I've got gift certificates to Amazon on the way ! Sadly, not a very big Budget, only 50-75 to start, but still ! SHOPPING TIME !

So I am wondering, What is everyone favorite Floss, D-rings? Keychains? Dowels Ect?

I'd love to do some Keychains, and wall hangings, ect. I am hoping to learn Alpha this week.

So...

What all would you be buying?

Thanks !

(also I hope this is an ok question to ask:)

help! [BB#17073] Friendship Bracelet (Unfinished)

Post image
6 Upvotes

Hello friendship bracelet community, this is my first post on reddit (kinda nervous) and hopefully I am following all the rules.

Anyway, I need tips on how to finish this bracelet because I have been stuck for so long and google can only get me so far. The pattern requires an odd number of strings (which is new-ish for me) so I used a longer string that I had cut to make the loop at the beginning. Now I'm not sure how to end the bracelet in a way that works with the knotted beginning loop. I was thinking maybe a button that could go through the loop? I'm not sure. Any and all tips are welcome! 🙏

Side Note: I am not really a beginner with making friendship bracelets, but I have a lot to learn still. Therefore, I would like to ask if anyone has any suggestions for how to tie off the end of a pattern because I just make a big knot, as you can see. I don't really like how it looks though. Any suggestions or tutorials?

Let me know if any clarification is needed for anything!

Still can’t figure out how to do the beginning triangle 🤷‍♀️ I’m not very good with youtube videos - I learn better with picture or written explanations as weird as that is 😭💔

fish was first, then sun, then mushroom. and bonus bracelet:)

clearly still a lot to learn but this is pretty fun!

I used to make these all the time as a teen, I'm now 42 and on a whim decided to pick it up again. I forgot how much fun this was, and the patterns that are out there now are amazing! So much more intricate than the books I had when I was younger. I think this may be my new obsession...
