It seems these have been making a comeback lately, as tutorials are popping up all over the internet. This definitely takes me back (we won't discuss how far back...). I would spend hours with one of these safety pinned to my jeans making knot after knot.
I never really figured out how to do the more complicated patterns, so I am glad to find some good instructions. If only we'd had the internet then! And yes, since I'm stuck on the couch on bedrest for the time being, I definitely intend to make a few. That is, if I can find my stash of embroidery floss...
