beach bracelet
January 20th, 2011
We are headed to the beach tomorrow: the real beach, the ocean beach, the hawaiian beach. I was planning on making this rope bracelet for the trip, but then I spotted this broomstick lace cuff on pintrest and changed my plans. Kirsty made a nice little tutorial for this beautiful cuff. Mine is pretty sloppy (late night crocheting) and made out of string, but hers looks lovely in a warm gray yarn.
The blog will go on while I’m gone! I’ve got some stellar guest bloggers lined up for you and I can’t wait for you to meet them all. They will be writting little bits about winter, because I do love winter and will miss it. The wisconsin winter will still be here when I get back, but it probably won’t recognize me with a tan.
Posted in crochet.
Oh, I confess to some envy (sitting here in Michigan), but hope you have a wonderful trip! Love your blog:)
have a fabulous break!
(love the bracelet)
Very cute bracelet…thank you for sharing. Enjoy your Hawaii time!
Have fun! I lived there for 10 years as a kid and would love to go back for a visit. Maybe someday.
ooh, have fun! hope we can get a peak at some pics when you get back! and can’t wait to see what you have in store for us while your gone!
Have fun! And I like the bracelet- it’s very cute!
It looks great! The beach sounds really nice. I hope you have a great time! :) Oh, and I love that rope bracelet too.
Cute bracelet. My envy is surfacing as I have friends celebrating a 40th birthday in Costa Rica right now. Of course, where I live there is no bad weather to escape.
Like this bracelet. So where are the instructions? I couldn’t find them. Have a great trip!
oh sorry! I forgot to link to the tutorial. It’s fixed now.
Lucky you, leaving us Wisconsinites with the below 0 weather! Love the bracelet.
Jealous. This winter is kicking my butt.
have the best time, meg! i hope you brought some knitting with you :)
Hey Meg, groovy bracelet. have a safe and sun-filled glorious journey to the Islands!! please send some sun vibes to us here in chilly Alaska!!
Wow! I love that bracelet. It reminds me of the classic sailor bracelet my grandma always wore, but with a modern and more feminine twist. Have a marvelous vacation. I’m jealous of both your sunny adventure and the wintry wonderland you’ll come home too. Out here in the Northwest there’s just a whole lot of gray.
Bon Voyage! Don’t get too tan…it makes the rest of us look extra scary-pale!
Love! I’ve had both of those bracelets book marked for some time now. Your self-proclaimed sloppy version is easy and breezy, just like the beach. Happy Adventuring!
Lovely bracelet!! Happy vacation!
Ooh, I’ve been wanting to make one of those! Have a lovely holiday!
love the way your cuff looks–a little lacey but also organic. If you wear it the whole vacation it should be a lovely natural gray-white when you return–which I actually love about this color of yarn/string. And I don’t even want to hear about your tan. Can you hear my jealousy all the way from Minnesota? Have a fantastic time, Meg.
It’s gorgeous!
Enjoy your trip. I’m looking forward to the winter posts – it’s been far too warm and sunny around here.
green with envy!
Have a great trip! Can’t wait to hear all about it…and see your lacy bracelet tan.
When is the next KCWC? I missed it in the fall and want to do it this spring.
Tres joli !
