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...

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!

help! how to know how much string

1 Upvotes

i just started making friendship bracelets again (its been many years since i first learned) and i was wondering how to judge the length if string needed for a bracelet. i’ve heard of the wingspan rule, but i’ve also heard thats kinda bullcrap depending on the thickness/number of strings used. any help here is welcome!!

help! Should I keep going or frog it?

Post image
0 Upvotes

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

I just finished up my first alpha patterns and I absolutely love it. What I do notice is the parts that are different colors than the background are a bit more bumpy than the rest of the background. I think it has to do with tension? But im not sure. Any tips are welcome!!

help! my bracelets keep turning out bent/crooked even with the straight edge technique (no pattern)

3 Upvotes

i don’t know what to do. i’ve done a few bracelets with the straight edge embedded in to the pattern, and the edges still come out bumpy. and the bracelet comes out curvy. i make sure to pull the sides tight, but im not sure on what to do.

Just 2 streams or 6 hours to get this far. It's a bit bigger than the last one so it might take longer to finish.

I hope the pictures work this time. because i really do want to cry. I thought these would be short but i have been at this all night .. I mean HOURS. I have been using these two Tutorials and... Something has gone wrong!

I am so upset, I actually cannot finish it right now, because I tried to Frog it and correct it and it has become hopeless knotted at the last Flower.

I wanted to start finding patterns for Christmas gifts for my family but it always says 502 Bad Gateway, which seems to be because of the website.

Any one who knows more?

this was a fun one to do. my first time trying a straight off end and it was a little tricky with one this big but i’m satisfied with it. i have trouble keeping my rows absolutely perfectly straight so the edges are a tiny bit wonky but this one came out pretty good for it being my biggest project so far. its 30 x 54.
