I identify myself as a maker, designer, learner, craftsperson.

I would say my favorite tool is the pencil. As an architecture student before came to DT, I have spent tons of time drafting and drafting and drafting. I think it’s still weird that I once could have that patience drafting on the table for 14 hours.

In this week’s new craft assignment, I decided to make the Chinese knotting bracelet.

I have searched several pictures to guide me working on this. There are millions of types of Chinese knotting bracelet that I can learn and I chose a nice looking one. It looks simple at first, however, after I started to work on this, it took me several minutes to figure out the method.

It turns out looking good on my wrist!

It was a fun process doing this. The ending part was not sure since it got some button in the tutorial but I didn’t have that. Therefore, I just made a random knot in the end.

I would like to learn more types of Chinese knotting bracelet and make several of them in the future.
