Here's your challenge for this month 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 of course by the other users, by simply clicking the like-button below the picture you really like. To make it more interesting and to give every star a chance to shine, the same user can't win twice in a row from now on.
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: #66146

Ooh! The PoTM is pretty!!! And so is K3205!

nice swirly month :)

I'm not sure yet, but I might knot the PotM in the original colors. They are very nice!

It is very pretty with the original colours!

Quite some of these were already on my fav's list, so let's see how many I can get done eventually :)

I also like the 2 flowery alphas and I might start one of them soon, I've been already making alphas this weekend!

I am glad you like the patterns! :)

@Samm: congrats about starting making alphas ;)

Thanks Cathy, but it's not my first time making alphas, I just don't do them very often except for this weekend :)

I was cutting the strings for #64878 today, but I ran out of white and don't have more in stock :( Not sure when I will have time to buy more so this project has to wait..

Instead I started on the POTM though :) I will be adding a button and for the first time I will make a buttonhole instead of buckle for it!

I finished the PotM. I'm knotting the same pattern in the original colors now :-)
