Here's your challenge for May to hopefully inspire you to post many beautiful pics of many beautiful bracelets again!

This is just for fun, but also for a few other reasons - what if you don't know what to knot? Take a peek here, see if there's anything you like! And some gorgeous patterns go unnoticed on the site, so why not try to make them a little more noticeable? And thirdly because, well, why not!

To view these simply click on the link and hopefully I've not managed to mess up the BBCode and it should take you straight to the pattern.

Everyone has the entire month to make one or more of these patterns, how many you make is completely up to you guys. You can make just one or all of them, it's up to you.

Photos of the completed patterns would be awesome, if you can't upload them then that's ok too. Photos can be uploaded any time, or you can wait for the month to pass, it really is up to you guys. I'm not going to be using a deadline on photos being uploaded so if for example you go over the month target time it doesn't matter, you can still upload photo's or if you finish it in an hour you can also upload a photo. If you want to leave a note here to say that you've done that, please feel free!

If you don't or can't make it by the next challenge it doesn't matter....there's no prizes for being the first to finish it, it's all for fun! :-) Sometimes it's just nice to not have to make a decision about what to knot, y'know? ;)

There's only one exception, and that's the 'Pattern of the Month'. At the end of the month the winner will be chosen by you!. And ofcourse by the other users, by simply clicking the like-button below the picture you really like. As always, pictures can be uploaded to the pattern itself. You can knot it in the original colors, or not. You can modify the pattern, or not. You can use the pattern to make a bracelet, a necklace, or whatever. It's all up to you!

Happy knotting!

PATTERN OF THE MONTH is #43673

Beautiful Pattern Selection!! Thank You Arismende! <3 You know, no matter what, I will always feel indebted to Nimue for her contribution to this craft. I created my first loom to make one of her patterns and her websites and pages have taught me valuable "Praxis" German terminology, which I use now on a daily basis. I just got a new camera and can't wait to get started! Oh, and BTW, Besides her wonderful patterns and tutorials here, her https://www.facebook.com/knuepfwerkstatt is AWESOME and if I'm not mistaken I believe she invites all to share their photos of works they have made with her patterns and tutorials there too. Let's show her some LOVE <3 and Knot one for up Nimue! :D

The pattern of the m

That was supposed to be the pattern of the month is gorgeous I'm gonna have a hard time choosing which one to do q:)

I'd love to make this pattern of the month in original colors, but for now I got an edit ready.. I really want to step it up to make more bigger bracelets and I will knot this one, hopefully before the month is done :]

Indeed a nice selection, I would love to make almost all of the normals! ANd ofcourse thanks again for picking one of my patterns, maybe it's time I knot some more of my own stuff so I'll add it to my to-do list :)

Right On Sammoning!

Hey guys! I'm glad you like this month's choice of patterns - and I always love to big up some of our most creative and individual minds and Nimue is certainly one of them, so I'm really looking forward to the results :)

I finally started knotting my first P.O.T.M. bracelet. If you want a "Sneak Peek" at the colors I chose for this, you can see them here ... https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=887843074563988&set=a.848629371818692.1073741832.100000149126181&type=1&theater
