I'll be honest, I'm not much of a needlework person, but after reading through your post it really brought me back to my childhood. When I was a kid there was this craze at my school with all the students making bracelets. You'd use beads or not and do different braids and twists. I love it as a kid!

Oh my god I'm just realizing I did these crochet things too hahaha I totally forgot about it until I started writing this comment. They were like pre-made crochet kits that you just followed the instructions for and the final product was an image of a cartoon or something.

Guess I know more about needle work than I thought. Thanks for sharing and giving me a little nostalgia this evening.
