Advice on keeping dowel steady (no BB#)

Advice on keeping dowel steady (no BB#)

I’m doing my first wall hanging (after doing a bunch of key chains) and I cannot get the dowel to not spin as I move it! I was hoping the clipboard would help but it doesn’t hold the dowel down and I feel like it still spins in the tape! Any advice for getting it to stay in place?

What colors for keychain

I am making an alpha keychain for my purse for when I get to see them open for 5SOS in july! It is just going to say tbc in two different colors. If you had to pick two colors that represent the band camino, what would you choose?

Bring my own mini bands

Am I allowed to bring my own mini bands on mini band days? My studio’s bands SUCK and some stations are missing 1 out of the 3 of the colors/resistances. I have my own pack of 3 I use at home, would it be wrong to bring it in during mini band classes and use it?

First two alpha projects (Pattern #56567 and #86526 on BraceletBook)

I made regular bracelets/keychains for a long time but haven’t done it in a few years. Saw someone making alpha keychains on tiktok and decided to FINALLY try it! There are definitely a few mistakes with the grogu pattern (uneven brown sides and arms) and my edges/tensioning need work but hey that’s how you learn! Made these for my bf and i :) I think I may try gluing felt on the back for a cleaner look cause right now they are a bit messy hahaha

Any advice or helpful tips are welcome!!

Mental Health Day

Is it bad to take a mental health day during the last 3 weeks of school? We end school on the 3rd but I am so burnt out I literally woke up crying this morning thinking about going to work. I have 38 hours of sick leave yet that doesn’t roll over! The teacher I share a room with said fuck it, why not do it but I just really want to get through as much content as I can and feel guilty taking a day. I also don’t even know what I would say 😭

edit: what i would say to my admin to take the day!

Anyone else follow the motions for strength50 but do their own rep counts? I am really trying to build muscle so hitting 3-4 strength50s a week! On days like today where they say to do 12, i’ll try to do a weight where i may do 8-10 instead with heavier weights to go close to failure! Anyone else do this?
