Why am I mentioning this? Well, I went with her to St. Cloud, Minnesota and as I always do when I am on vacation, I checked out the local yarn store. There was a nice, friendly yarn shop not too far from where I was staying: Bonnie’s Spinning Wheel Yarn Shop. And while I was there, I got some yarn, knitting goodies, and a knitting kit:
I made this bracelet in under 2 hours and absolutely love it!
The only problem is that after wearing it a couple of times, it stretched a bit and now it is too big for me. So I will make another one with different yarn. I am thinking I will try a metallic yarn. Once I have found the yarn, I'll pick out beads and a clasp and start again. Since it only takes a couple of hours to knit up, it's not that big of a deal. If I can find the right combination of yarn and beads, these will be a big Christmas present this year!
Here are my project details:
Kit: Roll Bracelet Kit by Deanna K. Van Assche/ Deanna's Vintage Styles; color: Silver knight.
Size made: small

Misc: Beads: 2 strings Size 6 beads

Details:
Quick and easy, really nice looking, but needs different yarn so it does not stretch OR make it smaller.
