t1ffloser: @Sadieville #113967 is pretty simple to start with imo!

Sadieville: @GiuseppeK that’s another good quote. it has a very deep but truthful meaning.

GiuseppeK: @Sadieville "If trees could scream, would we be so cavalier about chopping them down? I say maybe we would, especially if they screamed all the time, and for no good reason." --Jack Handey

Sadieville: @GiuseppeK yes! i was doing that yesterday just watching a couple of tutorials, so when the time comes to finally make these alphas, im not as confused. also, i love that quote!

11 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @Sadieville A quote I've always liked [attributed to Abe Lincoln] is to the effect of "give me six hours to chop down a tree, and I'll spend the first five sharpening my axe." 👍

11 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @Sadieville If you haven't already done so, I'd recommend checking out Masha's video primers on getting started with Alphas. Take your time--the hard stuff ain't going anywhere.

11 hours ago

Sadieville: @GiuseppeK haha no worries. i maybe just got a little excited yesterday and started adding a few alphas i thought we easy

11 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @Sadieville If you'll pardon me for being nosey, saw that #210230 is already in your To-Dos. Go get 'em. 👍

11 hours ago

Sadieville: @GiuseppeK i’m training myself to not crash out on my string if i get upset with the knots (that’s tends to happen a lot..). i’m ready for this. i think. thank so much tho! i’m also trying to save some easy two color alphas in my todos.

11 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @Sadieville Don't get frustrated--it takes practice to get them right (still working on it myself). In order to be good at anything, we have to be willing to suck at first.

11 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @Sadieville I'd suggest doing a pull for Alphas, 10-stings or fewer, 2-colors. Something like #210230, just for example, in order to get the feel for it. They're a different animal.

12 hours ago

Sadieville: hii! so i’m starting to learn some alpha patterns, but i’m not sure what to really start off with. does anyone have any starter alpha bracelet suggestions, besides the rag rug or flip flop? if not, that’s fine. thank you anyway!

t1ffloser: @GiuseppeK I’m honestly open to anything! Will def check it out

GiuseppeK: @t1ffloser I'm biased, of course, but I find they have a high degree of re-watchability, and I think they're better than most anything else one is likely to find on streaming these days.

13 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @t1ffloser It may not be your jam, but I'll do my buddy Chris (Fleming) a solid and recommend his classic series GAYLE (on YouTube). In it, he was doing an impression of his own neurotic mother (who was a good enough sport to guest star occasionally as Gayle's frenemy Bonnie).

t1ffloser: Hi ppl 😚😚😚 give good recs for shows/movies to watch while knotting plsss, it gets a little boring when you binge watch the same show for the eighth time lollll

2 days, 6 hours ago

blackcat79: @ab_crafts No problem! But remember to never feel bad about your crafting pace! As long as you’re finding some time to do something you enjoy, that’s all that really matters, so don’t try and compare yourself to the output of others. The second you start seeing it as a target production output rather than a hobby, is it really something that brings you joy anymore?

cheesechee: @ab crafts depends on a lot of things, I’ve done a lot this month cause I’ve had a lot of downtime but based on the whole year thus far I’ve averaged 13.33 a month

2 days, 23 hours ago

elliegdly: @ab_crafts 1/2 😭 but hopefully now that its summer I'll have more time

3 days, 2 hours ago

MidnightTH: @ab_crafts I try to make one or two!

3 days, 5 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @ab_crafts If you'll pardon a bit of shameless self-promotion, one of those was a special order and I was pleased how it turned out: #211553

3 days, 5 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @ab_crafts Never really kept track, but according to the photos submitted here and the fistful next to me, I count 25 in the past 30 days. In no way is that a flex; I'm somewhat appalled...

3 days, 5 hours ago

blackcat79: @ab_crafts I’m not gonna lie, I don’t really have a steady bracelet flow 😅 It definitely picks up when there are a lot of birthdays or if I’m more free, so I guess if you average it out across a year it’s maybe two a month?

3 days, 5 hours ago

ab_crafts: Hey everybody! I'm curious: How many bracelets do y'all make in a month, generally?

3 days, 5 hours ago

blackcat79: @MidnightTH lovely!

3 days, 5 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @sophen No matter how many times we hear it, it's always tough to not sing along when the show starts. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIII, PENN-SYL-VAAAAN-IIIIIIIIIIIIAAAAA! A MIGHT CHIHUAHA!!!! (SWIM IN YOUR POOOOOOOL, WHEN YOU'RE AWAAAAY!!!)

3 days, 5 hours ago

sophen: @GiuseppeK yeah, it is quite sad 😢 @MidnightTH ooh have fun at summer camp! (And with your friend!)

3 days, 6 hours ago

hannahc106: @MidnightTH Oh that’s so cool! I hope you have fun!

3 days, 6 hours ago

MidnightTH: @hannahc106 Well it’ll be nice this time of year! I’m getting ready to go to a summer camp in Virginia! Blue Ridge Bible Camp is actually a church that is also a Bible collage and what was my old stomping grounds!❤️

3 days, 6 hours ago

hannahc106: @MidnightTH Me neither I’m so excited to go back

3 days, 6 hours ago

MidnightTH: @hannahc106 Oh that sounds fun🤩❤️!!! I haven’t been to a beach in yrs…(sigh😔).

3 days, 6 hours ago

hannahc106: On my way to the beach, I’m gonna sit out there and make lots of bracelets 😜

3 days, 6 hours ago

MidnightTH: @blackcat79 I went on a hike on Thursday up a hill to a solid concrete watchtower, and then we went for ice cream! @sophen A lion king play that sounds awesome! I just got back from doing some yard work at my Aunt’s house. My brother mows and I go every now and I go every now and again to help weed when needed. Although I am packing bc I’m going to a summer camp in Virginia with a friend, and she’s coming down tomorrow!! Woohoo🎉!

GiuseppeK: @blackcat79 While I never let myself set foot in that business again, when I had to make a reluctant visit to my hometown many years later, I noticed the place was shuttered. Whatever became of him? Had he passed on? If he had, I sincerely hoped Perdition smells like perms. 🔥

blackcat79: @GiuseppeK Yep we’ve never returned! Now I’ve found a really good specialized curly haircut stylist so yay! (People with curly hair, GET A GOOD CURLY HAIRCUT!! It literally changes everything about your hair)

3 days, 8 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @blackcat79 I'm guessing you learned your lesson and never sat in that stylist's chair again.

3 days, 8 hours ago

blackcat79: @GiuseppeK But mountain hiking is so fun! I love being immersed in nature 😄 (and no, I was not mid-shrug sadly)

3 days, 8 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @blackcat79 Trying to be as charitable as possible to your awful stylist--did s/he start clipping while you were in the middle of a shrug? 🤷‍♀️

3 days, 8 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @GiuseppeK "Hey, man! Goin' to the top?" "Soon..." 😎

3 days, 8 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @blackcat79 If a mountain is involved, I'd be perfectly content chilling at base camp. You get to hang out in a colorful tent, grow a beard, and drink hot cocoa.

3 days, 8 hours ago

blackcat79: @GiuseppeK No idea! I’m just going with the flow 😄

3 days, 8 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @blackcat79 Hiking a place with which you're familiar, or will this be new stomping grounds?

3 days, 8 hours ago

blackcat79: @GiuseppeK Gotta give ‘em the illusion of choice I suppose 😔

GiuseppeK: @sophen Heartbreaking how his father could've survived, if only he'd Mufasa.

3 days, 8 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @blackcat79 It was always sardonically amusing to me whenever military barbers would ask how I wanted it. It wasn't going to matter--he was going to do whatever he wanted, anyway.

3 days, 9 hours ago

blackcat79: @MidnightTH Nothing much! I’m getting ready to go on a hike with some family friends 😄 Hby?

blackcat79: @GiuseppeK I understand the wretched haircut lol- I remember one time I asked for it to be cut to around my shoulders only to leave with an ear length bob 😭😭

3 days, 9 hours ago

blackcat79: @elliegdly Hmm I’m not quite sure. I got a mixed set and mostly use round key rings

GiuseppeK: @amyahhhh And between you and me, I could never grasp what exactly was so adorable about looking like the love child of Little Orphan Annie and Mr. Spock.

3 days, 18 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @amyahhhh The moment I saw what they had done to me in the mirror, I knew instantly she had made a colossal error in judgment. Bless her, she tried her best to reassure me that I looked adorable. She failed to comprehend that a boy that age doesn't want to look "adorable," he wants to look feral.

3 days, 21 hours ago

cheesechee: @elliegdly a good keyword to try is D-ring keychain, D ring with swivel clasp is what my friend likes to use

4 days ago

elliegdly: @blackcat79 TYSMMM also do you know if there's a certain keyword for the keychain kit? I keep searching and the flat ones don't come up

GiuseppeK: Although an ill-advised hairdo can make one's life an H-E-double hockey sticks for months. For example, when my mother was talked into getting me a perm when I was in sixth grade. 😭

MidnightTH: @peytonw Hello!👋

4 days, 13 hours ago

Avery_sav: @peytonw Hii

4 days, 15 hours ago

blackcat79: @elliegdly That’s the reason I got a keychain kit! It’s super cheap off of amazon and it’s more convenient because as your skill level increases, you tend to take on longer, wider, and more complex patterns. I did realize that none of my friends really wanted to wear a behemoth of a bracelet, so turning fun patterns I wanted to try into keychains worked out really well!

4 days, 15 hours ago

blackcat79: @MmmDrywall I totally understand the urge to change up your hair! I’m sure it looks great and I’m glad you like it! ☺️

4 days, 16 hours ago

cheesechee: @elliedgly it does depend a lot on tension and thread size—and who you are planning on making it for; in the past year my bracelets have averaged 104 rows, so do with that what you will

4 days, 19 hours ago

peytonw: hiii

4 days, 21 hours ago

MidnightTH: @elliegdly It depends on the person, your string, and knot tension, but in my opinion yes 106 rows might be a little big. Or it could be one of those seamless alphas.

4 days, 21 hours ago

elliegdly: Does Anybody Know if 106 rows is too long for a Bracelet?

emmajane12: @jemmy123 the butterfly one it’s soooo cute

4 days, 22 hours ago

elliegdly: @MLAllard60 #198552 Is really cool and kinda random

4 days, 22 hours ago

MLAllard60: @elliegdly I just don’t want one that’s too big but idc how long it is! I used to do alphas all the time when I was 15 and now I’m 20. I haven’t done these in a while 😭
