@E11aLak3 Have you tied alphas before? The base strings need to be the length of the bracelet plus some extra for the ties. The leading strings need to be longer, but you can just leave them on the skein and cut them in the end.
This took me a little while, because I kept running out of string (if you're using 11 white and 1 black, don't cut the black string! Just leave the whole length knotted neatly and unwind as you go) but in the end it turned out alright. =]
We have this piano player in my Chorus class and the teacher calls him penguin. I was originally going to give him a stuffed penguin that was really big ( like bigger than him), but now i need to add this to my list of gifts for him.
