It has been a while since I did anything with fabric or wool, so I thought I would share with you the latest thing that I have made. For a while I seem to be buying a new shade of wool every week, but there is a limit to how fast I can crochet, even on a good day and with all the other priorities that seem to rear their head it has kind of taken a back seat.
Crochet...
I wanted to make something for my 6 year old niece and thought a crochet bracelet would be the nice to try, it could be worn with a variety of outfits and I could make it within a few hours.Flower and button details
It is made using wool with specks of silver thread, I created 2 flowers one using the gray wool and the other using white as contrast.

These were then and attached these to another piece of wool that had been crocheted that would fit around her wrist. A button was added and a button hole in the opposite ends.Flower button
A flower button was added in the middle of the crochet flower. The bracelet was straight forward and quite easy to make, yet it looks quite effective. I have been busy with the flowers and now have a few more to make into bracelets, and maybe a broach or two!Flowers waiting for a new lease of life
I recently got a couple of tickets to go to the Creative Stitches show, which I am really excited about, as it will also include a look at the Festival of Textile Art. I have been getting more and more inspired by the many fabric designs, quilting and using textiles in my work.
