I'm sorry if I forget to thank your photo! Sometimes I accidentally overlook the notification, but I really appreciate anytime someone makes one of my patterns. It still surprises me and gives me joy every single time, so thank you everyone 🧡

Hello and welcome!

If you need help, want to ask a question, make a report, or anything at all, please feel free to send me a message and I'll try and help as best as I can. Since moderating is volunteer, I'm not always online, but I try my best to get back to everyone asap (:

I like exploring different mediums of art, including painting, sculpting, writing, music, videogames, and most recently, macrame / normal pattern design. (Are videogames considered an art? I think they are) (:

I like making normal patterns. To me it feels similarly to solving a puzzle or playing a game, while also making something to share that people (might) like, hopefully (: My favorite patterns to design are ones that invoke a certain feeling for me. I'm not sure why or what that means xp but you can assign whatever meaning you'd like to them, if you'd like to (:

I've been told some of my patterns are some of the more difficult patterns to make, but if you're interested in making them, please don't let the difficulty steer you away! xp A lot of my newer patterns are segment-knottable, and there's quite a few things you can do to make them even easier to tie, including using fewer colors (: (and of course, if you have a question, feel free to ask) Nevertheless, I'm always amazed when someone ties one of my patterns, or any pattern really, because of the time and effort put in to tying them (:

I now have alternative knot structures for some of my patterns that you can find here: https://postimg.cc/gallery/C5f5GhG
I've included some updated / easier knot structures for six of my earliest patterns, as well as some additional ones that I would add as variations if it were possible (:

There may eventually become a day when I run out of ideas for patterns to create, but that day has yet to come! I currently have patterns waiting to be submitted (: I often get stuck when I'm 98% finished with a pattern because I'm indecisive about the colors, the pattern order, or any other small details that I want to get just-right before publishing them. Some patterns are already several months old before they're on BraceletBook, for example, #119187 and #119168 were nearly finished a year and a half before I finally submitted them! {: I'm trying to get better with this, and I'm trying to publish them (slightly) more frequently {:

If you've noticed, there aren't any photos of bracelets on my profile. This is because for whatever reason, I find it very difficult to stay focused on tying a bracelet for very long. I mean it with sincerity when I say that you all amaze me with your bracelets and other handmade creations!

I'm really enjoying chatting with all of you and making/browsing through all of your awesome patterns and variations (:
It's really nice seeing what you make, and I always appreciate anytime anyone rates, loves, comments, and especially, ties my patterns (: If you have any questions regarding tying anything I've designed, or any patterns (especially normals) feel free to message me.
