Knitted bracelet
I have just knitted a bracelet using silver plated wire and beads with
some crystals. It really glitters in the sunlight. I had no pattern, saw a woman wearing one so I thought I would have a go at one. It is on my website under " beadwork" http://www.allcrafts.demon.co.uk Shirley -- Shirley Shone http://www.allcrafts.demon.co.uk |

I've never tried one, although I have crocheted a cabochon.
I have looked at a lot of pictures of them though, and you did great! That's really pretty! -- Jerri www.beadbimbo.com "Shirley Shone" wrote in message ...

Knitted bracelet
I used knitting needles Old English size 8. the wire was 34 gauge, quite
fine. I threaded the beads on to the wire. Since I did not have a pattern I could have done with a few more so put plenty on. They will always come off the other end when you have finished if there are too many. I cast on 12 stitches and knit 4 rows garter stitch. Continue in knitting in garter stitch trapping a bead in random places. I used about 3 in the first row then tried to space them in between. Carry on like this until the length required. Then I changed to stocking stitch and just plain knitted until it was double length, this portion fold back under the bracelet. The one I saw was fastened with snap fasteners but I made mine a little too short and used large crystal beads and loops. I like it better because it gives more detail to the bracelet I am going to try it with chip beads. Shirley In message . com, Margot writes This is exquisite. I would love to try one .

Becki I rather think that it may be a no go for me. I have not been well for a long time and after my emergency rush to hospital 4 weeks ago I can see it slipping away. My blood has gone too thin and I bruise easily. I have 4 appointments at 3 hospitals the first 2 weeks in January. My Dh is not keen for me to go because he cannot go with me. There are many things to consider I do not want to list them all. I shall be very disappointed. They will have the beads anyway. Just to keep abreast of things I have done my first quilted item, It is on my website under other crafts. Thanks for your kind words Hugs Shirley -- Shirley Shone http://www.allcrafts.demon.co.uk |

Seeber writes Ooooooh, that's so pretty! It looks like it was a lot of fun to knit. Is it comfy to wear? Yes it is very comfy to wear. I have made a second one. I am wearing the original one tonight because I am going out to the annual Christmas dinner with the girls from the library where I used to work. Maybe I will get some orders. I wonder what a fair charge would be. It takes me about 10 hours to knit it. It is slower going than yarn. My next one will be with chip beads.
