I realized it had been a couple of years since I sat down and made some crocheted bead bracelets, and now I had the perfect opportunity! The bright pink rubberized faceted glass beads.
Using a #4 crochet hook and some C-Lon cord from Marion Jewelry in Fiber, I strung on all of the FMG beads plus some size 6/0 seed beads in between. Then I sat down to crochet while a certain show that I won't admit to watching was playing in the background :-)
I found that one stitch was fine for each of the seed beads, but I needed to add an extra stitch on each side of the larger beads. The bracelet grew and grew, which made me really happy! I wanted one which wrapped four times around my wrist, and it turned out to be exactly the right length, without me having to add extra chain stitches. Lucky me!
Such a simple, easy project...and just perfect for spring.
