Macrame


I've been really interested to try out macrame recently, and after seeing as couple of good deals I treated myself to a selection of 5mm cotton (mostly cotton) cords- as  a post Christmas treat :-)









Today I decided that I would try out a tutorial I found online here - after stopping and starting the video dozens of times and reorganising my working set-up a few times... I made an owl!

I didn't have any beads, so I made a long paper bead for the beak and I made a berry knot using some random wool I had to hand that I thought would be goood colour!

Friendship wraps available now!

Image
As the title suggests I thought I would start selling the friendship wraps (bracelets) now whilst the removable wraps are being tested out for me... These are about 12 inches long - 1inch loop, 6 inch wrap, and 5 inches of tails to allow for different wrist sizes... They can be a flat wrap (like the bottom two) or spiral knot (like the middle - pink yellow and blue one) or a mixture (like the 2nd one down). I have a few colours available, but if you really want something you can't see let me know and I might be able to rustle up something different :-) Red Mid pink Dusky pink Electric blue  Orange Yellow Mid blue Purple Green  Obviously different screens will change the exact colour slightly, according to my screen these are fairly true to the actual colours Only £4 each - Let me know if you would like to order one - comment here, or send me an e-mail my.twisted.yarns@gmail.com Thanks for looking xXx

Bracelets...

Image
Well, the last few days I've been playing with bracelets, I've looked at loads of tutorials which all blurred into one in the end... but they all showed the same technique, some more clearly than others! This is the result...     I really loved doing friendship bracelets when I was younger so these wave bracelets were fairly quick to do, and the kids loved them! Then I tried the macrame style, which again were very popular with the children :-)     Yesterday I decided to try something else I'd seen on a couple of tutorials, but only using the limited materials that I already had I came up with this;     It may be messy (and made with wire wrapping rather than a nice flexible thread!), but I really like it xXx
