For my previous post in NeedleWork Monday, I had wanted to post something (I want to be in it!) but wasn't sure what. I picked up a couple of woven bracelets I'd made before and thought I'd post a photo of those.
Then I figured, that's a bit boring on its own, and started a new bracelet so I could show how it's done. I was so glad I went to the extra effort. The post was picked up by the marvelous 
I didn't have time to finish off the bracelet, though, so today I'll show you how it turned out.
Generally, the weaving takes a couple of hours, so I usually watch TV or listen to something. When it started to look 'long enough' I began testing it around my wrist, to see when there was enough to go around. I stopped when it was about 16cm long.
I should probably have stopped at maybe 15cm - it turned out a bit loose.
Then, I took all of the yarn off the wheel and tied it in a loop around knot, just like we did at the beginning.
To fasten the bracelet, you can just tie the two ends together, but I decided to use a button.
If you're into needlework of any kind, I bet you have a bunch of old buttons and fasteners laying around. A quick search netted me a small container and an old bag, both filled with buttons.
I looked through them for a button that matched and was the right size. If you choose a big button, you can just make the space between the knots at the start bigger to accommodate it (easier if you plan for that when you begin).
I used a large needle to help me thread three strands through the button,
then looped a second knot on the other side. Now, you can use the space between the two knots at the beginning as a buttonhole.
Lovely. I actually wore it around for a few days. After I'd been doing some gardening, I noticed it was gone. I have a feeling that it's down the bottom of the garden refuse bin, underneath all the prunings. As I said earlier, it was a touch too long and it seems to have slipped off. I'm a bit sad that the star of my most successful post, ever, went missing so quickly, but now I have an excuse to make another!
A few weeks ago, 
Happy needle working!
