YARN BRACELET DIY! See the updated version of this project here! This was one of my favorite crafts to make because it is really relaxing just like knitting and crocheting! This is just like making one of those paracord bracelets, except with yarn. I got some neato small yarn just for making these! Here is what you will be making: Put Up Your Dukes: braided scarf tutorial I have a tutorial that is forty thrillionty times easier and better than my previous (ahem, first ever...give me some grace!) tutorial.

DO IT YOURSELF: T-Shirt Weaving I have a lot of t-shirts. Long sleeved, short sleeved, too small, too big…. I especially have a lot of oversized t-shirts that I like to wear as tunic dresses.

Are there weaving errors occurring in the lower layers that can’t be detected until the entire weaving is completed? Well, yes there is always that possibility but frequent examination of the weaving plus the confidence that arises with experience tends to minimize this problem. On the other hand it pays to unweave when an error is discovered because it is much much harder to correct errors after the cloth is removed from the loom.
