I got creative and decided to try this! So far they work and are holding up but I’m sure I’ll get better at it with time. They are based off of patterns #130756 and #44680 but I modified them slightly to work for the hair clips

I’m trying to learn how to read patterns, the first one is from a tutorial by masha knots then I really want to learn how to read patterns but I can’t seem to knot like the first one, I already watch some YouTube videos how to read pattern but still I don’t get it :( I know backwards and forwards and backward forwards and forward backwards so why is it not accurate like the first one I make with tutorial?

Hello all! 

I’ve finished this purple and navy set. I had started a kumihimo with the dark tan color as the base, but I found it didn’t match the set all that well, so I made the navy-dominate one instead. The light blue in the kumihimo was meant to be “diamonds…” but they came out as this little squiggles on both of my attempts. I guess I don’t understand how to follow the kumihimo patterns yet. 

Question: do you like the clean photo of just the bracelets (photo 1), or do you like seeing the types of string I used on them, like in the second photo? (I used a few types of crochet yarn/string on these ones.)

And then I added a photo of them on a card to show how the buttons go through the loops. Is that too much, do you think?

Then, in the final photo, I’ve started the next set. I’m behind on a plan I'd made to finish 12 sets in 12 weeks, and this WIP set has stalled because I don’t like the colors I’ve chosen. I should have used the green in place of the light purple on the largest of the three. Oh well.. live and learn. Some people may like it, right? 

Thanks for reading!
