Friends, HELLO! In this episode of What Have You Done?! I’m doing a little swerve from crochet and diving headfirst into friendship bracelets—because the Stranger Summer Make Along (hosted by my lovely friend The Crochet Witch) always gets me in my 80s feelings. The whole vibe is Stranger Things + all things retro, and while I’ve done blankets and amigurumi in past years, 2024 became the year I made an entire collection of character- and scene-inspired bracelets. It was such a fun, bite-sized project style: quick finishes, lots of color play, and a very satisfying way to “collect” the show as wearable craft. I show the bracelets in order and talk through what each one is referencing—Joyce’s lights, multiple Hoppers, Demogorgon, the Upside Down, Eddie, Max (with a chevron tweak I did myself), Eleven, Argyle, and two Scoops Ahoy Steves, plus Chrissy. If you’ve ever wanted to try bracelets but didn’t know where to start, I point you to MashaKnots as my favorite beginner-friendly resource, and I also share my BraceletBook profile (I’m AmethCraft) so you can peek what I’m making and grab patterns. Overall takeaway: you don’t have to be “a bracelet person” to have a blast—pick a theme you love, follow a solid tutorial, and let the strings tell the story.
