silver wire knitted bracelet


When you look at this, you think, plain, but therein hides a secret! There are four layers of close knitting and then stitched together paying close attention to the edges, a lot of work!
But - one satisfied customer - great!

commission finished

Finally finished the jewellery order I got a short while ago. There was quite a lot of knitting in it as I had to knit four layers in order to make the bracelet stiff which took some time to do. The catch was another problem, I spent many hours on the internet trying to source the catches I had in mind for this bracelet and finally found more or less what I wanted in Dublin! I have since found a site in Australia and have sent for some silver catches which have not arrived yet. There are some more ornate catches on the site but I will wait and see what arrives from my first order before I go mad and order more! Anyway my customer was delighted with the bracelet which made all the hard work worth it.

Now to the next project!
