Crafty Threads 'n' Yarns

carolinne

here is my jan offering

it is a bangle. it is very experimental and i will make better ones

it was made by getting really thick chunky wool, making it into a bangle sized ring and wrapping it with sock yarn.

i dont specially like this one but as i said it was a try out and i will make more

plus it is a rubbish pic

that's a fab idea...i've seen these being sold on our local craft markets and not cheaply either.

Your picture looks a bit like one of an eclipse my eldest son was sorting out the other day for a project at school Wink

Well done for doing something different (wish I could!)
