@Ann0skar great! from what i can tell, you're actually really good at it, all of your alphas look very smooth and straight except for your larger ones, so i'm gonna give you one on the larger side like the avocado you did.

to start off, you should try #80698, its within your comfort zone, is more springy since its a flower, and i personally would like to see how you do with the color switches since it might be hard to keep it flat and straight

and for your next one, i would really like to see you complete #65095 since its a little bit bigger than what you've done so far and it'll really test those skills i've mentioned before


if you dont like what i've chosen, or would like to make any additional notes to help me pick your next design, let me know! if you don't feel comfortable asking on here, my dm's are always open. next monday will be the 2 week mark, so i will be giving you a new design 🙂 due date for all patterns are at the end of the challenge, about 5 months away, so please take your time and have fun!

@Karo-H wonderful, glad to have you here!

I think #86239 would be a good fit to start, it has plenty of color switches in a small amount of room, and you have some wiggle room to try some different things with the background, and using the solid colors on the edges might make it easier to keep the edges straighter

for your second one, you should try #65453 and see if you can make this into a bracelet, you can try to do triangle ends again like your second photo or do something different! This has a LOT of color switches but i think you will do just fine 🙂 you got this

If you have any questions, please let me know! if you don't like the designs i picked for you you can ask for a different one, just tell me what you don't like about it so i don't make the same mistake. this is all about testing yourself and improving, so i want this to be as enjoyable as possible. if you don't feel comfy putting it on here, you can also dm me and i will respond as soon as possible!

your next bracelet will be given next week 🙂 due date for all bracelets are when this challenge ends, about 5 months away! have fun, and happy knotting!

@Scavenged Ok so I tried the pattern that you gave me but it’s not going to well, I tried to submit the bit I have done but it got declined. I was wondering if you could give me a new pattern that still works on more intricate normals but maybe with less spots to mess up. Thanks!

@colorqueen you're fine, thank you for reaching out! I apologize for it not going so well, do you know why they didnt accept the photo?

for your new one, i'll give you two to choose from since these both branch out from what you've been doing style wise but still follow along the same lines of intricate
#87261
#81828

the first one is on the bigger side of things and has a lot of same color areas, so its branching out by giving you a bigger size then most of your patterns and the design is a little more simple
the second one has some intricate lines, but the background is more black instead of being fully intricate like the previous one i gave you

if you're not satisfied with either, please tell me! I'll pick another for you 🙂 and if we run into this problem again you can show me more of where you are at with these and what you would like to see going forward

@Scavenged They didn’t accept the photo because they said it was too short, although I did about an inch and a half and then I messed up and I undid some knots but I couldn’t figure out we’re I messed up :/

@Scavenged Could you pick a pattern that is similar to the ones you just picked but a small one? One with a max of 14 strings?

I finished my pattern, I submitted my photo. Next time can I have a mother's day pattern, that is 20 string or less and work on tapestry ends.

Hello hello hello!!! We have reached our 3rd 2 week mark, so it's time for another prompt!

Here is the master list of everyone who has joined and what each person has been assigned up to this point, just in case you're confused on what you're currently working on. Correct me if any of this is wrong!

@hellooooo
so far: #25534 #60081
Skills: Clean Back Alpha, Straight edges, tapestry ends

@colorqueen
So far: #35677 #80186
Skills: Branching out on normals, different from current preferences

@abbey10
So far: #55372 #61970
Skills: Normal patterns, segment knotting

@Rainbow608
So far: #58710 #34719
Skills: Alpha's overall, Straight edges,

@8_bit_life
So far: #58548 #86920
Skills: straight edges on alphas, color switching

@Ann0skar
So far: #80698 #65095
Skills: flat alphas,

@Karo-H
So far: #86239 (to be determined, you still need to choose out of the three i gave you)
Skills: color switches, ends on alhas, flat edge technique

Note: These are OVERALL skills, not current skills. Some of you are not combining the skills and that's okay! This is for me to make sure that I have everything right, for every bracelet you do I need to link the skill from either previous patterns or patterns in the future so i can see your progress and everything you have worked on 🙂 so dont stress if you said you were moving on, I'm pretty sure i know where everyone is at


Here are your new prompts based on the information I have so far, I tried to match each with your preferences by looking through your todo's, loves, and pictures.
@hellooooo - #86227 (see if you can make this into a keychain, I had difficulty finding one so if you dont like this then choose your own, just let me know what it is)
@colorqueen - #88690
@abbey10 - #85310
@Rainbow608 - #87607
@8_bit_life - #82835
@Ann0skar - #85270
@Karo-H - #87727


if you dont like what i've chosen, or would like to make any additional notes to help me pick your next design, let me know! if you don't feel comfortable asking on here, my dm's are always open. in two weeks i will be giving you a new design 🙂 due date for all patterns are at the end of the challenge, about 5 months away, so please take your time and have fun!

Reminder: you do not have to complete every pattern i give you! This is all about improving your skills and taking it at your own pace, not to see how many photos you get in. in a month or so, if you complete the first pattern i gave you it still counts!

if you recommend this challenge to another person and they join, both you AND the newbie get an extra point for being enthusiastic about the challenge and helping others 🙂 for every person you get to join, you get one point as long as both of you tell me who did who, or else it won't count

have fun and happy knotting!

@8_bit_life sure thing! #84125 is another keychain design if you want to try that instead of the possum, you can do just one rabbit instead of all 3
