This might be the hardest bracelet I’ve ever made. 😮💨
What started as a simple plan with pattern #6362 turned into a multi-day battle full of frustration, knot-tastrophes, and a whole lot of second guessing. I even almost walked away completely. But with a little help from GIMP, some moral support from Members, and sheer stubbornness… I made it through.
⏳ It took me 2.5 hours to complete — for a bracelet that normally would take me 2.
📉 I almost scrapped the entire project.
🧠 But I found a trick that saved it: crossing off each knot as I went.
💥 The result? A weirdly satisfying, texture-heavy bracelet with reddish and dark browns that looks way better than I expected.
