Welcome back, it’s Kevin (aka AWOL), and today we’re diving into the setup for Blindsided Creation pattern #182408 from BraceletBook! 🎨 This one’s got SIX colors and a lot of hot hues doing the heavy lifting—red, orange, and yellow dominate the center while purple, green, …
This Blindsided Creation took me way off-script. Pattern #170142 from BraceletBook brings bold diamonds, wild symmetry (or lack thereof), and enough directional weirdness to keep me questioning everything. 🧠 At first glance, it looks like a bold vertical centerpiece… but once I got into it? …
Brace yourselves — pattern #165524 just broke my brain 😅 This week’s Blindsided Creation comes from BraceletBook and looks deceptively simple… until you realize the diamonds are off-center and nothing lines up quite the way you’d expect. Even with just 6 colors and a candy-stripe-style …

Today’s Blindsided Creations is a 12-string zigzag adventure with some serious 70s energy—pattern #113036 from BraceletBook! 🎨 At first glance, this one looked simple enough, but as I got deeper into it… yikes. There’s a lot of counting, a lot of guesswork, and it’s easy …
Welcome back to Blindsided Creations! Today we’re tackling pattern #126919—a bold 18-string candy stripe setup with some… unusual heart details 🤔 I walk through my process for refining this pattern: removing odd elements (seriously, what is that heart “shine” about?), reworking the layout, and layering …
Back with another Blindsided Creation from the ever-reliable @Minute_Craft! This time, we’re working with pattern #87531 from BraceletBook — a 14-string challenge with a unique fade and an even more interesting structure. Right off the bat, I decided to ditch the original light/dark fade and …
This pattern had me scratching my head more than once… 😅 Today’s Blindsided Creation comes from Minute_Craft (again! 💥), featuring pattern #67078 from BraceletBook. What started as a clean import and trace quickly turned into a real challenge in logic, symmetry, and color theory. I …
In this episode of Blindsided Creations, we’re taking on a unique three-color braid pattern from BraceletBook (#46757) sent in by the talented @Minute_Craft! As someone who lives for symmetry, this asymmetrical braid challenged me in the best way possible — but we didn’t stop there… …
Today we’re diving deep into a pattern mystery inspired by Critter Crafter’s beautiful bracelet on Instagram! 🧵 The original piece used variegated floss, making it tricky to recreate — but with a little detective work (and a LOT of zooming in), we figured it out …
Hey everyone, it’s Kevin aka AWOL! 👋Remember that Blindsided Creation we tried (#16704)? Yeah… I wasn’t happy with how it turned out. 😬 So I’m remixing it into something smaller, simpler, and way more striking. We’re trimming it down to a 12-string bracelet, adjusting the …
