I’m in my first slump and it’s awful 😭

Do you have any tips on how to get out? Thanks so much!

Whenever I hit a slump I like to go back to the basics, like a chevron or a candy stripe in my favourite colours and about 8-10 strings. It works up fast and looks great when complete. That usually helps get me out of my slump. Hope you're out of your slump soon!

when i was in a slump, i tried continuing any small and simple WIPs (i had a ton lol) which really helped me out in getting back into the flow of making bracelets and stuff. also this might be a personal preference thing but maybe knot normal patterns first as there’s more variety of knots and knot structures and if you’re doing alphas, probably have only 2-4 colours with minimal color switches.

hope this helps!

I’ve been challenging myself with bigger patterns. Currently working on @vikas_daga #158690

honestly, i just go for it! the best way to get back into bracelets is to just try your best. doing small projects usually get me started again, but it’s different for every person!

I go for something easy and low-stakes. Symmetrical 8-strand normals are in my comfort zone, so I pick a pattern and use colors I like but don't love so making a mistake won't stress me out.

When I’m in a slump, I look back on bracelet book and find some more patterns. Then, I pick a cute and easy one and do it.

I know you made this topic 2 months ago, but in case you get in a slump again...here I am! 😂

I've recently got out of a slump, which was from September trough the middle of December, sooo yeah... 😭
What I did this time was to join a challenge, so that can be helpful.
I also did a lot of festive patterns, now related to Christmas/winter/new's year so if you do festive patterns related to a season/holiday may help you.
You can also try to challenge yourself with different goals.
Andddd the last one (which I think all of us did) is to watch some YouTube videos to inspire you!

Hope I could help someone else or even you in the feature! 😂 😊
