this is a bracelet I made quite a while ago, but it's one of my most impressive and favorite designs
Well, I'm into friendship bracelets again.
What? I can't help it. I blame Regretsy. Someone made a club fuckery bracelet for the charity store and I saw it, and immediately got re-hooked. Now I'm working on learning some new designs to add to my repetoire, and checking out nifty ones I see on Etsy and trying to see if I can replicate/improve on them. Hopefully that won't result in any butthurt from people, but I also know that very few of those designs are self-designed and I figure if I can reverse-engineer it.. well, anyway.
I did manage to find a pattern site, so I imagine that'll keep me occupied.
In non-crafty news, I am moving from New York to Montana next Tuesday- this time I'm doing it fully, bringing a uhaul and everything. My dad and I will be switching off on driving, and he'll get to meet Jeremy's family, so.. that'll be nifty. Of course I am stressed out beyond belief, but I am trying to do a craft for one hour before bed- without the computer in front of me (Crazy, I know!!!!)- to see if that can help me with my sleep problems. It seemed to help a little bit last night, so I have high hopes that it will continue to help. We'll see, though.
I made one bracelet last night- it was a 3-strander diagonal stripe in purple, lavender, and pink- I'm wearing it now. Very thin, but also cute. I do like handmade bracelets because I can customize them to my own wrist- which is of course larger than normal. There's also something relaxing about arranging the knots into patterns.
Plus my cat loves to watch me, so how cool is that?
