But with a little online instruction for the basic knots, I was able to make my first 4 bracelets. Only problem is that once I get started on a new craft there´s just no stopping me! So, after reviewing all the instruction book options available online I chose this one because of it´s combination of history and it´s detailed instruction of many different knots and patterns. I´ve made several bracelets since & none have been any of the exact pieces that are in the book. It´s not because I can´t or won´t do them, but simply because this book is instructive enough that I´m comfortable going out on my own, switching up the knots in a piece and creating my own patterns! I am on a mission though, to make the rear-view mirror car charm or the dream catcher in the back of the book, as they are advanced pieces that are intricate and beautiful. I´ll just continue working my way through each of the knots that are needed for those pieces.. And summed up by saying Great learning tool for the beginner!.
