A couple of days ago I stumbled into a little store on my lunch break called The Knitty Cat. What a can of worms (or should I say "yarn") that turned out to be! I had no idea what amazing, beautiful string there was out there these days. I went in thinking that I may find a particular color of thread for another project I am working on but that is not what I found, of course. I could have easily spent a sizable portion of my life savings in that store but I restrained myself in the end and just bought the gorgeous string you see in the bracelet below. I love how earthy and organic feeling this is but still modern and clean. I wore this out to eat last night with my friend, Kristin, and she already requested that I make her three!
This bracelet wraps around twice, the string is a cotton/silk blend, wrapped around leather cord and finished off with a muted-gold button clasp. There is something about working with string that makes me feel giddy, like how I felt when I first learned to make friendship bracelets as a kid. But this, this is what I am calling "Friendship Bracelets for Grown Ups"! I think there may be many more versions of this one in my future! This looked so nice stacked with one of my "Merry Wrist-mas" bracelets (see
post from last December) today that I had to include a second picture.
