I'm making the block zig zag bracelet right now, and it's a lot easier... it goes way way WAY faster than the others...😄

The way I finish bracelets faster than normal is to sit down and do it in a distraction free area. It really helps it used to take me a week to do the simplest of alphas, but now I can do them in a few hours.

I suggest doing bracelets in a clutter free area AND also it should be a quiet area so you can foucus on the bracelets :[

it depends on the person really, I can finish a normal pattern in a couple hours on a good day... but the alpha I'm working on right now is 600 knots long, and is taking forever

normals take me longer tan alphas because of the variation of knots o.o I can do a 17 X 100 alpha in one day, but it takes me like three to do a 10 strand normal. I've also gotten really quick at simple 7 width name alphas - i can do one in 45 minutes (:

Normals used to really bug me. It would take me weeks to finish one and I would get bored 😛. Since then, I've learned "the shortcut" to tying normals faster. It's explained in my tutorial "Knotting in Sections" but the method can be a little bit complicated so you can message me if you have any questions. It really is faster and a lot more fun.

My problem is, I just can't work on a bracelet for longer than 5 minutes. Then I just stop and do something else. And I've got about 25 (!) unfinished patterns, so I almost never really end a pattern so that's why I haven't uploaded a lot of pictures so far, I just have a lot of bracelets that are only started but never finished😭

@yonnahali I have about 5 unfinished bracelets...I can work on one if I memorized the pattern for a while. 🙂

It depends on the pattern , a normal one can take me 1-3 days and an alpha usually takes me about a week (:

i think everyone is capable of making a bracelet in a couple of hours its just that everyone gets distracted 🙂

I'm like yonnahali in that I can't just focus on the bracelet and do it because I get bored too easily. I usually set up myself in front of a TV show and play it while I knot. I count how long it takes me to make a bracelet in how many episodes I watched. XD Patterns 9886, 9887 and 9888 took me about two hours to do each princess. Three in a moving car. 😉I work almost exclusively in alpha patterns and I find I can get through them pretty quickly but when I shift over to normals they seem to take me more time. Pattern #8032 took me ten hours to make. |
