Summer Bracelet

Happy Summer!!!!!!!

It's here!!!!!  Are you ready for the heat? 


It has actually felt like summer for a few weeks here in Texas.

When the season changes and things get hot I tend to change the way I dress too.  I prefer to wear lighter, cooler fabrics and cut back on the jewelry I wear.

But I still like to have cute accessories. And this bracelet is prefect for me!  And cost me next to NOTHING!!!!

I was hoping to do a video tutorial for this bracelet, but I am not ready yet.  I need to practice more!  Brant thinks that would be much easier than giving directions.  Maybe in a few weeks!

The blog where I found this super cute bracelet was not much help for me.  I hate to dog out a fellow blogger, but it was so confusing!  She did post a video and I found that rather odd, but maybe it too will help you!
Regardless I will give you her blog link because I want you to be able to make one too! 

And maybe you will go to her blog, read the directions and think I am a complete idiot.  And that is just fine.  I hope you DO understand her better than I did!!!

After reading all the comments on her blog I found out this is very much like(or is)finger knitting.  And many commented about learning it as a kid.  I don't think I did, but once I figured it out I could not stop making bracelets!!!!!!!

I first started with old tshirts.  Old tshirt with NO side seams!!!

Where do you get a tshirt with no side seams?  I used men's Hanes tshirts.

Surely your husband, brother or dad has some in a box in the garage that he uses for rags when working on stuff!

The tshirts worked fine, but then I made some from jersey knit material.  LOVE the jersey knit!!!!  Plan to make a couple more in some bright colors for summer.

What should you use to make your bracelets?  You decide.

-Old tshirt-FREE
-Jersey knit-an eighth of a yard 88cents

These are the ones I made from jersey knit......bday gift for my sister.  I will say I like the way the jersey knit knitted together verses the tshirt. 

You must make one or ten today!!!  They would be perfect with that sweet sundress you love so much, a blue jean skirt or capris and a cute tank. 

And let me just say they make the BEST accessory when you are milking a goat.

Yep! That's me!

More on the goat milking next week.  For now get busy making a summer bracelet. What colors are you thinking?  Are you going to make one for yourself?  A friend?
