Hi rockjunquie and all,

I'm using the 1/4" tool. Wanted 1/2" but couldn't find any in town. I don't like ordering online anymore cos my packages keep getting stolen. Wonderful neighbors.

I used the single knit this time and followed your example by not drawing it too tight. I can't believe this bracelet used 15' of 26ga. I also love the little end caps. I was making my own but these are prettier. I'd like to get a more attractive clasp. I will prolly be selling this one as I've bought 24ga sterling to make 2 bracelets. Don't have the patience to make a necklace. No hard spots here, which was a relief. Slinky.

I love the end caps, too. I think they would be more comfortable than cones for some reason.

In the end I used a clasp not unlike the one you put on your husband's silver knit, just in twisted copper. Thanks for your assistance.

rocknrob: That was one heck of a windstorm that thankfully missed me. I guess Seatac almost hit 60mph gusts. I bet those were some fun landings Nov 20, 2024 21:55:16 GMT -5
