With Family Day coming up tomorrow, we seem to be having a real family-themed weekend here at Thing Central. Next up is another craft project, friendship bracelets.Wow, these things look complicated. My inability to crochet is not filling me with the confidence I need to do these, despite the assurance that they are suitable for ages 8 and up.
The instruction manual isn't as much help as I was hoping, at least on first glance, but I refuse to give up. Calling on the expertise of the kids (girls know how to do these instinctively, don't they?) leaves me more puzzled than before.
I promised to do this, and I doubt I'll be getting a "quittance" from my daughter on this one, so I persevere, and guess what? I 'got' it! The string is cut, knotted and fitted to the frame, and actually it really isn't that hard after all.

| Not as complicated as it looks |
No, not hard. Just loooong. I mean, this thing is taking hours to do.
 |
| Getting there... |
I'm not going to be making any more of these in a hurry, I mean, I have a life.
 |
| ...and it's done at last |
Yay! My daughter loves it, couldn't wait to put it on. That was an hour ago, and I haven't seen her wearing it since. Oh well. At least we bonded some more, and that's what's important. Right?
