Pattern Share for Friendship Bracelet / Micro Macrame Projects!

Hello everybody! Happy July! It's hard to believe that summer is here. My apologies for not being very active on this blog lately. I do have plans to bring you more updates, including tutorials, shares, freebies and more. 

I even created a new logo (see header) to get things heated up.  For now, check out some beautiful patterns I found over at Friendship-Bracelet.net. 

I will see you all very soon. Happy a very happy 4th of July!

If this offends you...

Friendship-Bracelets.net - Patterns for days!

When I first found Friendship-Bracelets.net, I'm pretty sure I spent several months going through all the patterns, and tutorials they have on the site. I couldn't stop looking at the patterns long enough to make any of them. I still spend a lot of time there looking at the latest and greatest additions to their already enormous stock. New gems are added daily by community members. In addition to normal friendship bracelet patterns, they also have tons of alpha patterns and kumihimo patterns. Whatever your poison, or whether you are a beginning or pro,  knotter, cross stitcher, or general crafter... you will not leave this site without saving at least a couple hundred designs. 

This is just a couple of my favorite selections during my visit today. These are smaller patterns, ranging from 8 strings to 12 strings.  I'm sure if you're here, you've probably already been there... if not, you should head there now because you've got a lot to see. I'm going to check out the new alphas... maybe I'll share those too. Enjoy!

Free Charts: 1 Design, 3 Variations

Happy Sunday! Today I am offering a new alpha pattern. I have created 3 color variations of the same  design. This pattern will work great for hand knotting floss or yarn bracelets (friendship bracelets) and can also be used for small cross stitch border pattern, or a loom bead pattern.  Enjoy!

Free Patterns For All!

Hi everyone-

I am happy to announce that I will be publishing some of my patterns on this blog. The patterns that I create can be used for a variety of crafts and hobbies. The software I use to create and publish my designs is called StitchSketch Pro.  I will be sharing the charts only. Please right-click to save the patterns you want. You are welcome to use the color schemes I have chosen, or come up with your own. The patterns are free to use and enjoy.

The most wonderful thing about charts (also known as alpha patterns, grids, or graphs - and others) can be used for so many things. You can use them for hand-knotting friendship bracelets patterns, micro macrame, cross-stitch charts, loom beading patterns, pixel art patterns, Perler Bead patterns,  Filet Crochet patterns, Knitting motifs, Tapestry Weaving... and probably more.  

If you are like me you've probably used a cross stitch border to make a hand-knotted bracelet, and vice versa. I have gone so far as to use the charted solutions for Japanese Crossword Puzzles to create hand-knotted creations.

I have a lot of fun creating beautiful works of art and wearable art pieces and am happy to share some of my designs with you. In the future, I will likely release only one design at a time... but for my introductory post, I am sharing a batch of basic designs that are fantastic for beginners. Please enjoy.
