Today Gwendolyn picked a pattern and colors for a friendship bracelet. We started by cutting several strands of embroidery thread that measured 24 inches long. We made sure that there were two sets of each color. Gwendolyn combined the threads and tied a knot, leaving about 2 inches of slack. She arranged the strands in the order she liked. She started on the left side with the outermost color and made a forward knot by creating a 4-shape over the 2nd color. Then she looped it under and back through the opening and pulled it tight. She did this twice to each color. We will continue this in the next few classes. It takes a lot of patience and time.
