Hemp Bracelet Project Completion

Finally finally finally. I have completed my second project. It is my series of hemp bracelets. The top bracelet was made using a repeating square knot. The second is a spiral knot which is wonderfully similar to a double helix. Nerdswag. The third is an alternating square knot. I believe the most difficult aspect of this project was making the bracelets uniform, as hemp is an extremely inconsistent material. The smaller and thinner the hemp, the more consistent bracelets will turn out.

Bracelet Project Progress [1]

Well, since you had your child and part of my serotonin project is with you, I started my hemp bracelet project.  (How do I get that back, by the way?  I need to finish that soon.)

So, initially I tried thicker hemp.  Apparently that's out of the question.  It makes a good width bracelet, but the hemp is not uniform enough throughout to make the bracelet as perfect as I would like.  I'm currently making bracelets of medium sized hemp, and they're turning out well.  I do, however, love the uniformity of the very thin, thin hemp, despite how small of bracelets it makes.  For this reason, I believe I'll be using the same knot with different sizes of hemp. I'll do this with each new knot that I learn for a total of hopefully five or so bracelets.

I am running out of time, so I need to hurry my butt up and learn.  The knot with which I've been working is the basic square knot.  It looks a little like this.

I've also been working with a spiral knot.  That looks pretty cool, and is also very simple to do.  It looks a little like this.

These are the knots from which I'll be picking for my next ones to learn.
