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.
