what are some really random and specific things that only knotters get?

saving a bunch of patterns to your loves so string shopping is easier
that period of feeling a creative boost but then not knowing what pattern to make next
having to put off a pattern because you don't have the right colors
thinking you got the perfect photo but then when it's posted the lighting is terrible
adding patterns to your todos you know for sure you'll never make in your life
losing pins/needles and never finding them again

The string and label things in my bed, carpet laundry and in every pocket of every hoodie and pair for pants
Pre-made (yk started like with the starting tie) bracelets in my pocket or bag for when I have to sit somewhere for any length of time
That shelf that is filled with literally only bracelet stuff
Everybody in my family wearing at least one bracelet and owning at least one keychain
There's so many more but that's all that my brain came up with atm

Having little pieces of embroidery floss everywhere in your house
Saving wayyy more to-dos than you will ever make
Back pain when you make a bracelet
Feeling sad when you hit the daily limit of variations on bb
And many, manyyyy more, but I can't think of more right now 😂

Random boosts of motivation but you can’t knot that second

Getting in a slump & not getting out of it A never ending list of patterns you need to make for people. Having so many scraps you can’t use. Having so many printed patterns you haven’t made. Cleaning out your thread collection so much it drives you nuts. Always Being unsatisfied with your bracelets

Cutting strings way longer than you have to because, what if? Finishing a bracelet and never seeing it again. Having to explain that it’s just knots. Accidentally chopping off a base string. “This took me 5 hours.”

The "having to explain it's just knots" is soooo accurate 😂 😭

realizing you messed up a few rows ago and deciding between painstakingly picking apart each knot with a sewing needle or leaving it in

going out in the snow in sandals without putting a coat on just to take a photo of your duck because natural lighting is everything and who doesn't like snow? now your hands and feet are numb and you accidentally tracked snow in the house but that's okay because you got the picture you wanted. never mind that you can see the footsteps

Accidently stabbing your fingers with the tiny knot unpicker tool when you make a mistake 😭

Estimating how long your bracelet will be when it’s done, the fear of running out of a main base string and figuring when to weave in a new one, having a hard time deciding the colours of a new bracelet.

That random pile of string on my desk. Or the paper with a bunch of colored dots and arrows that no one know what it is

@Kayla517 I always estimate how long I think my bracelet will take, but it always takes twice as long😭😭

having several containers of bits of string not long enough for normal patterns but you're saving them for alphas
the callous(es) </3
strings you're working on getting caught on something when you move them !!
running out of a color in the middle of trying to cut strings for a pattern
"can we go to (craft store) again?" and having a LIST of colors
crunching your fingers to untie knots in a string you're winding on a bobbin
