ReplyDeleteThank you for the last minute gift idea! These should whip up quickly and they are a good way to use up a small amount of leftover yarn from other projects. :)
ReplyDeleteLove these bracelets. Thanks for sharing! I do have a question - the one made with the Paton's Grace yarn where you added the initial bead - I noticed it is a thin braid, not like the others, and not sure how you did this!? Could you explain? Thanks so much, Linda
