"Boooo, I'm bummed your answer didn't match! What faves were missing?? Maybe the quiz can be updated. What if there was an answer like "Yarn the color of darkness" or "yarn of villians"? D"

"This is a very pretty bracelet. It's dainty and very feminine looking. I like light weight bracelets. I even love the colors that were used. I read thru the directions and they are very up front and easy to follow. The only changes I will make are the Swarovski beads. They are out of my current budget."

I'm looking forward to trying this as I wanted an interesting blanket to knit rather than crochet. Do you recommend getting the wool on the internet - never seen sheep(ish)?

For the ladies needing a crochet pattern, this is called broomstick lace. I made several blankets in the '70's using this stitch, it should be easy to find the crochet version. It is quick and easy!
