Well, I decided to make my niece a bracelet. :) Probably you oughta know here that it took me two years to get through 10th grade geometry. That means, I can't add and things that involve numbers hate me. Truly. So, it seems that Col's wrist and her old aunty's are just about the same. So, I happily stitch along and get this fun and funky bracelet done and...it's too short. It fits me, barely. Now I have to put a toggle on it. I am bummed. I measured. I did! :( Waaaahhhhhh. I'm waiting for Col to tell me it's ok to put a toggle on it. She wanted it flat but it doesn't appear that flat is in her future.
Beady kids...chime in here and tell me what I'm doing wrong! Pammie, I KNOW you're reading this! So, do tell me how long should I measure if I want a wide cuff to be about 7 1/2 inches? And you sent me a bracelet measurer, too. I'm a dunce. It's ALL my geometry teacher's fault, no doubt. ;D

That bracelet looks very, very intricate. I'm impressed.
It's amazing!! And it's going to Pennsylvania so everyone else, eat your hearts out, this piece of MoeArt is mine. :)
It just beautiful, what I do with a bracelet that has a middle, you know what I mean, I always make it from the centre out and never finish the edge till I know it fits right, that way you can add if you need to, hope this helps
It was very intricate. But fun. :D
Yep, Col, it's yours. And i fixed it, too! :D
Thanks Gina! I actually did that but somehow miscalculated. I *thought* it was going to be just fine. But I put a toggle and a loop on and now it's dandy. I think what I forgot to take into account is that the wider the cuff, the bigger it has to be. lesson learned. Thanks for your input! :D
It's beautiful, regardless. Very, very nice! And it looks complicated!
Thanks, Kat! I'm about to add the new finished pix. :D
