Hello and welcome to my first challenge!! You know when you were just starting to make bracelets and they didn’t turn out great! Well now is your chance to recreate it. The general idea for this challenge is to recreate an old pattern you’ve done. Steps: 1. Scroll through your photos on BraceletBook and find a pattern you want to recreate/improve. 2. Reply to this forum and let me know you would like to enter the challenge. Please state the pattern you’d like to do. 3. Make the pattern! Improve the creation in anyway you’d like (colour combos, using different techniques, etc). For example, recreate an alpha using the flat alpha technique after previously not using it. 4. Submit a photo! And let me know once it’s been approved! Judging: I will be judging the creation on: Overall improvement Technique Colour combos (if that’s what you are improving) I will be looking at your previous photo of the pattern and your most recent one and comparing them! Rewards: 1st place: rate 5 of your patterns 5 stars and do 1 of your patterns 2nd place: rate 3 of your patterns 5 stars and love 3 other patterns 3rd: rate 3 patterns 5 stars Good luck and happy knotting! If you have any questions let me know! |

I didn't post a picture of this, but when i was first learning how to make normal patterns i did #16 so i was wondering if i could make it again and i could have the old one and the new one in the picture, i'll be improving the knot tightness btw

Can I join with #127240? It’s one of the first alphas I made so it looked really bumpy and uneven.

Hello, I’d like to participate with pattern #114315. I’m going to post the old and new versions in the same photo [since I hadn't posted the old one]. I plan to improve the color combos and I’d like to make more regular knots and I’ll make the flat edge technique.

@BuckyRac The first bracelet I ever made is also #1. It was a very, very long time ago! 🙂 It wasn’t very pretty either. I’ve kept it all this time...

This is such a cool challenge idea! I'll be remaking #82481, it was one of the first normal patterns i ever made. I'll be improving neatness as the old one is pretty wonky, and making a teardrop loop start instead of two triangle ends. I'll also be trying out a different colourscheme using a multicoloured thread (:

@wallabee yes you can, I’ll use it for extra “data” but your chances of winning will be the same if that makes sense! For #1, I see that you haven’t posted it to bracelet book yet so just include it in the photo you submit! Happy knotting!
