Even though I have (cough) six crochet projects currently on the go, I had this little idea the other night… for a spring-time anklet. I know, it’s not spring yet. In fact it’s freezing, grey, drizzly, and just blah. Which is all the more reason why a spring-time anklet seemed like an essential seventh project.
I bought this thread in New York last year. It was at the very back of a little haberdashery store in the Garment District – up a rickety staircase, buried in the bottom of a box. It’s Aunt Lydia’s Crochet Thread, size 3… and so lovely to work with.
Obviously, it’s a favourite with Moo too.
Thank you all for the lovely comments about my adorable knitted socks. I’m wearing the green and pink pair now…. so so warm and snuggly.
Love Terri and Moo xxx
Love them!!!!!
Hey Karlee! Glad you like it 🙂
I love the way Moo quality checks all your work LOL
Oh yes, Moo sees the camera come out and follows the pile of yarn around to start stealing it. She’s a little show-off!
Just love it are you going to wait till spring????
Thanks! Nope, not waiting till spring. x
Your anklet is beautiful!! What a fun way to so welcome spring!! Moo wants one too!! Hugz a bunch, Lisa and Bear
Haha! Oh, I’d love to make one for Moo. Unfortunately, I’m pretty sure she’d chew straight through it.
Beautiful all the way round! How do you make the anklet? I’d love to have a go at making a bracelet like that. And Moo is just fab. Mollie likes to check out what I’m doing too!
Thanks! The anklet is just rows of chain stitch, joined with a knot, and then tied to a clasp (or clasp ring actually – not sure the technical term). I tried to tie it neatly with half-hitch knots so that it would look nice. Then I cut the loose end quite close, and put a bit of craft glue on the join… so hopefully it won’t fray too much!
They are absolutely perfect!
Thankyou! 😀
great anklet, hope it makes you feel more spring-like. 🙂
Thankyou! Yes, and would you believe the sun is even shining at the moment ~ I’m sure that’s because I’m wearing my anklet. 😀
