Crocheted Bracelets and Bookmarks

Well as you can tell by our lack of posts we have been much  too busy being crafty to actually post about our craftiness....at least that is the story we are sticking with....

Over the last couple of weeks I have been busy crocheting (shocking, right?!). However, most of it has been things that I have already blogged about. However, I do have a few new things in the works. On my last post I talked about purchasing crochet thread. I used it to make granny square bracelets. Since I have this new thread I figured I should figure out what else I can make from it. I have kinda been on a bracelet kick lately after my first successful attempt so I thought I would look for another pattern. I remembered seeing this pattern for a scarf  and thought I would try doing something similar with my crochet thread for bracelets.

It takes me about an hour to finish one, but I think they turn out even cuter than my granny square bracelets. I have also made several into bookmarks as well by making a smaller eyelet and attaching a ribbon to the end. I found the thread for sale pretty cheap at Walmart, so I look forward to trying out new colors as well.
 



I think I am really adapting to this smaller hook and thread. Can't wait to find other patterns to try!
