I finished blocking the beaded lace cuff, and have the photos to show for it! A link to my project page is here.
Here it is laid out –
And here are a couple of shots of it on my wrist. It is a bit big, stretched during blocking. I think I can block it again and make it a bit smaller.
Here’s a shot of the clasp – buttons made with beads. they feel a bit tenuous to me, come undone quite easily, so I likely will replace them with larger beads or buttons, and next time I make this, I will use a traditional clasp or larger buttons. the pattern calls for two, I made three to cover the whole width of the cuff, but if I use larger buttons, I will go back to two as called for.
On the whole, I am quite happy with this pattern, as I usually am with Laura Nelkin’s things. the applied beaded I-cord around all edges is fussy to do (especially with silk on size 1 needles), but it is the perfect finishing touch to this project. I’ll be making more of these.
fab!
Thanks! I was thinking of you as I was knitting it – the colors seemed like ones you would really like. Nice and bright and cheerful.
you are not wrong 🙂
It’s absolutely gorgeous! Love it!
Thanks!
Bling Bling! This bracelet is pretty and can be day or night time fun.
I know, right? I might have to make more, to match every outfit. 🙂
Fantastic. It turned out beautifully. I absolutely love them. 😉
Great photos as well.

Happy, fun colors. Makes me think of the beach and a seaside resort.

That is a beautiful bracelet! Love the colors and all the beadwork. You did a great job!
