Looking for a subtle hint of your favourite shift in everyday life? This bracelet might be just the thing!
This wide cross stitch bracelet is made from second hand cotton and linen. The 2755 small stitches make up a quite traditional pattern in very non traditional, but gorgeous, Zeta purples and white with black for contrast. Backed in a soft linen fabric it's comfortable enough that you might forget wearing it.
The bracelet is 5,8 cm wide, 19,5 cm long and fits comfortably without alterations on a wrist up to 18,5 cm. It can be a bit tricky to button the first few tries but it gets easier.
Materials: Second hand cotton yarn and fabric, with a salvaged linen backing and metal buttons from my inherited button tin. It can be lightly washed in cold water but the purple might bleed when soaked. Not a friend of velcro or sharp things.

I've been watching Desert Bus for a few years now and as I'm a 'tiny' bit of a hobby hoarder (mostly anything with paint, textiles or beads) it was inevitable that I would end up participating in the Craft-Along in one way or another. My home simply can't fit everything I make anymore. While my fingertips find cross stitch to be a painful craft (being stabbed almost as much as the fabric) the look and texture of a finished project is irresistible to me so here we are.
