I'm planning on doing a House Unity Bracelet. If I find a way to create more time I'll make a Hufflepuff one as well. I really can't wait to see what everyone else comes up with! -------------------- Jenn

(Video of tutorial coming soon, promise!) -------------------- Rosemary One can never have enough socks. ~Albus Dumbledore

In the beginning, after the braid it looks a mess, lol. I wasn't doing it as tight as I thought. But, it's starting to look normal now. So, once I'm done this one, I'm going to make more. Yay!!! -------------------- W.L.Y.J. We love you Jo

I realized what I did wrong. doh When you said alternate to make sure there's enough at the end, I thought you meant knot the first strand of MC, then the second, rather than do the first 25 knots with the first strand, then alternate that way, lol. I have to say you do get an interesting bracelet alternating the wrong way. -------------------- W.L.Y.J. We love you Jo

I finished it pretty quickly. Once my camera batteries are charged I'll post a pic. I'm glad I'm back on track too. Now, I'm going to try a unity house one. -------------------- W.L.Y.J.

Oh man, maybe I needed to be a bit more clear!! Yeah by having two strands, it keeps you from running out of thread (without having super super long strands) and then it gives you something substantial to knot around too. I'm sure it looked good anyway though -------------------- Rosemary One can never have enough socks. ~Albus Dumbledore

So I went with a gold. The guy selling the embroidery floss asked what it's for so I said a bracelet and he insisted that I need a third color & I'm like, no I just want yellow (which you dont have) and black. I almost explained about House colors but, I decided it would get too complicated lol. So I can finally get started now. Looking at everyone's pics, I have a lot of catching up to do but I'm excited to be here even though I'm late. -------------------- I'm 1 of the 99.99% W.L.Y.J.
