Congrats, Tracy, on the bracelets. I think I am going to make an
abacus "bracelet" for my knitting. I have one from Hide and Sheep
and I love it. While I don't use it as a bracelet, I put it on a
locking stitch marker and use that as my beginning of the row
marker. I really need at least one more, but it is not in the budget
right now (or the near future). I am comfortable with the stringing
part and can do the clasp, but I am concerned about using the
elastic thread to make the center ring the beads will need to slide
through.<br>
<br>
Boy do I know about the practice on knitting. I would typically just
tink back if it was only a couple of rows. I have a lot of
experience doing that since I am a perfectionist with my knitting.<br>

Successful Saturday! Have you started or finished a

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I play the
harp, and I had 2 nice stretch bracelets with harp charms,
but they both broke. I decided to remake them. I thought,
if I used elastic again, it would break again, so I remade
the first one with beading wire and a toggle clasp. It came
out nice and fits fine, and it seems sturdy. Today I\u2019ll
remake the second one the same way. Then I\u2019ll have my
lovely bracelets to wear at the big harp festival next week.

Cindy knows she has company, I had to rip out part of the
sleeve I\u2019ve been knitting. Luckily, I\u2019ve gotten pretty good
at pulling out a few rows, picking up stitches, and carrying
on. Must be all the practice I\u2019ve had.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
