@moth-cult Absolutely! The more bracelets you make, the more familiar, comfortable, & confident you become when tying them, which is why it doesn't take you as long now as it once did. I find in my own bracelet making experience that when I start knotting with greater ease & confidence, the finished product tends to look better too -- more consistency, fewer places where the bracelet gets weirdly curved and/or overly constricted in certain sections while wider & looser in others.... I realized those things were happening because I was trying TOO hard to focus on tying every knot perfectly, and in doing so I was tying some of them too aggressively tight which caused the shaped to get a little wonky. The more I just learned to tie the knots without thinking too hard about every single one, the more evenly aligned and uniform in feel & appearance they would turn out as a whole! 😂 👍
@LoopyCat Thank you so much! i’m glad you like it, i love all your patterns and i’m gonna try to make more of yours soon! i usually try to go for colors that are very different and bold, i hope that’s how it came off lol. i think the second time around when i knotted this one, it took me a shorter amount of time 😊 i think that’s a good sign of improvement from my pov, again thank you so much for all your kind words <3
@moth-cult I think you've outdone yourself! Your new bracelet looks even more stunning than the first one! I found (by making plenty of bracelets that didn't quite look the way I'd hoped they would) that one of the keys to making a finished product that looks really striking is in selecting colors with enough contrast against the other colors you intend to use, to make the pattern really stand out. Sometimes you'll want to choose colors that are pretty close to one another in order to create the look of a gradient in your pattern, but if it's the type of design in which you want to emphasize clarity in the detail of the pattern, go for the hues with greater contrast to one another. You did an excellent job with this bracelet -- congrats! 👍 😍 ❤️
@moth-cult Wow, I'm glad to know you liked the pattern enough to make another one! I'm honored! And I thought your first one looked really good. If you're anything like me, you're probably your own harshest critic, lol. I sometimes get frustrated with myself over the tiniest things that no one else even notices! 😂 😍
i did a redemption bracelet for the one i originally did in dec 2021, i fixed mistakes like how thick my strings were and the length of them ❤️🩹 i had a nice time redoing this ☺️
@LoopyCat ahhh thank you!!! i absolutely love your patterns, i have two more in my to dos i’m gonna hopefully work on soon 😄 i love adding beads or charms to my bracelets i like how they add a little something extra <3
@moth-cult Thanks for being the first to post a photo of this pattern! Beautiful bracelet and I love the tree-of-life charm & antique-style beads you added! I actually have some beads & charms quite similar to yours that I sometimes add onto my bracelets when I'm feeling especially ambitious. Lol 😂 😍 ❤️
