@Ruby: There's a style I've seen with sliding knots that I wanna try, and another one with a short piece of square knots over the two ends so they slide within the square knot.
I found a couple of tutorials, will share them later because switching tabs and copying and coding is a pain on mobile haha
I want to make sure I can put my bracelet on if there's no one else around, and I don't trust that a metal clasp won't fail (not to mention I react to some metal clasps).
This actually gives me another really good reason to get a little tripod for my phone, so we can do vid calls or record ourselves trying stuff and then share with the other for help ^^
I have a hemp bracelet a friend made me with a big loop at one end and a big knot at the other. That one is hard to get on by myself too

That's incredible!
It's so pretty I don't think I'd be able to eat it, but also I kinda wanna know how it would look covered in chocolate 🤔
I don't think I have any particular talents with food, other than eating it? XD

@FUZZY: Aww, that sounds lovely! I hope your daughter is having fun with it! ♥
What kind of crafts do they do?
@Ruby: I feel like crochet might one of those things we'd need to video chat for, or do in person (someday!!!). I'm not sure how well we could do macrame at a distance either, hmmm.
The biggest struggle I have with friendship bracelets is how long should my cord be and how much do I leave for making a way to "clasp" the bracelet. I think I need to go back and look at the square knot tut I saw
I attempted knitting first, so that might be why my brain is accepting it better? I'm sure crochet will click, it's just a matter of finding the right tutorial

@Lina: Ooh, what kind of jewellery do you do?
The nice thing about chainmaille is I can play with different ring sizes and get essentially the same effect if I get the right ratio of wire thickness to ring size. So if I'm having a "big hands" day I can work with larger rings ♥
I actually love working tiny, though. I started trying to make a line of chainmalle jewellery for my BJDs (Ball Jointed Dolls)
I'm not doing anything too crazy with the knitting, pretty much a basic knit and purl but the way it works out the fabric kinda ends up double-thick so it's gonna be really nice and cozy ♥
I've tried crocheting very briefly, I was able to get single chain going okay but then got confused for either connecting it into a circle or starting to single crochet the next row. One of these days I'll try it again, though!
I also started getting into macramé after I bought some gorgeous bracelets while on vacation like 8 years ago. I've only learned some really basic patterns and I wanna get back into it - more interested in macramé jewellery than wall hangings or plant hangers
Ruru is trying soooo hard to get me into cross stitching, and I wanna because like IRL pixel art (and takes up way less space than fuse beads ahaha, even though I'd rather tinker with the beads), but I'm not quite sure where to start?
Ohh, I'd love to see your mandalas and sacred geometry pieces! I keep meaning to get into mandalas too

Home now, D&D hasn't really started or gotten serious yet so I'm tempted to dabble

I forgot that I can't inspect elements on my phone, which is so annoying. I can't even view page source, ugh.

@FUZZY: Hi friend! Thought I'd come and post and help make your hangout a little more lively ^^
I love doing arts and crafts! I used to spend a lot of time making chainmaille jewellery, but I've barely picked up my pliers in the last few years
I'm trying to learn how to knit, and started working on a scarf using double stockinette stitch, but it's been too hot to want to play with yarn
I guess my main focus lately has been my geometric doodles, I've been playing with a new style I really like and I'm tempted to try and do a poster sized one instead of just my little 5"x7" sketchbook

U - Uvarovite
Rare, green member of the Garnet family. The green colour is caused by the presence of chromium in its chemical makeup
I actually just picked up a lovely Selenite palm stone recently, and now it's got me wanting to buy a proper Moonstone disc
I didn't realize that Selenite was Alabaster!! That's so awesome!
Oh wow, Tanzanite is such a lovely blue. Nice and rich like Sapphire

Very glad I ended up changing before leaving for work, I would've been freezing in a tank and shorts
