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 …

Welcome back to Blindsided Creations!

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… …
