Braided Hex nut Bracelet

I found this great DIY bracelet on Pinterest and wanted to share it with all of you.  I tried my hand at making it and it turned out to be very easy..the hardest part was finding the hex nuts in brass, apparently those are hard to find. I would recommend a small hardware store since Home Depot does not carry them.  This bracelet is chic and funky and fun.

The pattern can be found on this site www.honestlywtf.com


 Try a combination of brass and silver nuts..

Jacket with seed stitch, pattern by Debbie Bliss

For months now I've been fretting over this Debbie Bliss baby sweater.  The pattern has been a problem since day one and the sweater was promised to someone back in December, I can't begin to tell you the number of times I've unraveled it.  Since I was slacking on the knitting all along I finally wrapped it up within the last few weeks.  I've finally finished it, what a relief...I thought this would be one of those projects that just sat in the corner of my office but alas it's done.  The sweater looks beautiful, however, I would not recommend this pattern to anyone, instead try knitting a baby sweater from top down, much easier.
