Thank you Mollie Makes for reintroducing me to friendship bracelets….
It reminded me of spending afternoons when I was younger; knotting embroidery thread and making bracelets. I had to dig out my thread and see if I still could make them. I could! The patterns that I was making, made me think about the braid I make when I am on re-enactments...
It got me thinking, and I decided to use the fifteenth century technique that I use on re-enactments and give the finished bracelet a modern twist, with beads and buttons…
I am really pleased with how this meeting of old and new has turned out. The range of bracelets that I could make using the finger-braid technique is endless, all the different patterns, all the different colours, all the different buttons. So many thinks to try out.
NB – In the last two posts I have blogged about crafts other than crocheting: please don’t think that I have hung-up my hook. I am still crocheting away and will have tome treats to show you very soon. But all crochet and no play makes….
