The thread name pretty much says it all, but I'll explain some more. Everytime I start a bracelet, I'll take a break or go to sleep and I'll start a new one and don't want to finish the one I started the day before. Do you guys have any tips that might help me with this problem? I will try ANYTHING.
Thanks.

omg, same here. lol I know this isn't much of a help to you, but I feel exactly the same way when I tie bracelets. It's like, you get bored and tired of a bracelet you've been working on.

One thing I've found that can help a little is to occupy yourself while making bracelets...like, multitask to occupy your brain so you don't get bored =)...like, watch a movie or watch TV while making a bracelet. Listening to music is also a really good option. Just tie your bracelet WHILE doing others things, like talking on the phone or something.

Sometimes I've even tried reading a book while tying bracelets and I find that it works....however, be warned, only do the things I've mentioned if you're working on a simpler pattern. The harder/larger patterns require much more concentration and if you're distracted while doing them you can mess up horribly and waste loads of string(it's happened loads of times to me before =)

well yeah, that's all I can say about the issue. the techniques have worked for me and I hope they'll work for u too. hope i helped! ;)

why do u start a bracelet if ur not gona finish it? and why start another one if u alrady have one started? a bracelet shoudltn take more than one day to finish as in a time of 24hours so u cant really get borred, its not like u've been making it for a few days.. try make a list of the patterns u wana do, and dont start another until u finish the one u started it.. and yeah what go_blue said is good, i listen to music while making bracelets and dont find it boing at all:), when u making bracelets it shouldn't be boring cause its a wonderfull activity and needs concentration not boredom^^

go_blue16: Thanks a lot. I'll definitely try some of those (:

KibsBoyRO: I don't get bored, I just find a pattern that I like more and then I would start that and stop working on the other one.

Yeah, I totally understand your problem. KibsBoyRO, it isnt something people like us can really control. It just happens. For me, I see another patttern and get really excited, and I HAVE to start that one RIGHT AWAY. So I forget my current one. I have to pick a pattern I really love, Nadia. Then I'll stick with it. And then I don't come on this site until I finish it, unless I'm just checking my notifications and messages. That helps because I CAN'T find another pattern that way. Also, I like to do my own patterns. I make a pattern, and can't wait to put it up, but because I want to be the first to actually make my new pattern a bracelet, it makes me work harder. And the music thing that go_blue16 mentioned. Silence bores me.

Thanks (: I really can't help it though. I just sort of start a new one without even thinking about it quite honestly xD

I know the problem. I have some few bracelets floating around here somewhere that I started days, weeks or even months ago that I haven't finished yet. But I definitely plan to.

What I do then is force myself to at least knot a few more rows on them before starting a new one, knotting while watching TV or listening to audio books or music.

And I love looking at my growing collection of bracelets. I'm a little proud every time I add another finished one to it.
Maybe you need to put your finished bracelets on display somewhere, too, so that you feel the need to finish them ;) Raise the need to have the finished product.
Put them on a cork board or knot them around a paper roll, not just hide them in the next drawer.

I've never made a bracelet without doing something else at the same time. Do what go_blue16 said. I usually have 5 or so audiobooks out at a time, so that way I can read and do bracelets at the same time :) Also, I use Pandora a lot. I can grab a few songs for my collection while doing them, and then it goes by really fast.

Will you thinking about finishing and selling them? That I do. I start a new bracelet when a client requests it to me. When I like a pattern, I do it and finish it because "I like it". This practice can help you to make a nice and no-curly bracelet with the experience.

I have like 10 started bracelets that i DESPERATELY want to finish, but because I sell them it seems like people just want more and more! ; ) sometimes I have to take a break from the one I'm working on and get psyched to work on one that I already started. I have to think of the end result, of a room FILLED with bracelets!!!! That keeps me going! : )
