So far I anticipated I would get better like this:

But actually, it's been going like this:

basically suck

I don't post all my photos just in case you check my profile (because those bracelets are too bad to post). I'm really proud of my latest bracelet though.

Who else can relate? When did you get good? Are you a newbie? What are you going to get better?

Excuse the formating, I made a line graph but it didn't translate well.

When I first started I had no idea that I could make triangle ends I got really confused and almost gave up like I did last year and My bracelets looked good but the ties/loops were purely either braided ties and a button with a knotted loop. I cannot say however they were horrible because my knots were really good at the time.

@2006_Mandy so glad you didn't give up. I knew about loops but, was still getting the hang of it earlier on. Back then, I finished one bracelet and decided I didn't like to loop anymore so, I cut it off. 😭

I would just keep practicing! Sometimes starting with smaller projects helps you get used to the knotting. Also your photos look great! your knots are so much nicer then mine! I think your at the pro level. Just keep practicing and you’ll get better

@ Lizzie_Ann Thanks and thanks for the advice! I think your knots are pretty good. My favorite is your shaped bracelet.

@alivetoliv I think your bracelets look really awesome! Personally, I am about a year and a half into my bracelet making journey, and it has definitely had its ups and down 😂 Some bracelets I make turn out great, others not so much, but I'm not really too concerned about it. I love making bracelets, so that's what's important to me, not always the end result. It is great to have a finished product I can proudly wear around town though. Good luck on your future bracelet-making journey! As long as you stick to it, I'm sure you'll improve in no time 😊
