Needle bangle bracelet

Thu, 10 Dec 2009 08:36:11 -0500

$9.00
Bangle bracelets shaped from knitting needles. Some were 10-inch needles and some were 14 inches; the only difference is the amount of overlap. About 8 1/2 inches around, easily slips on most average adult wrists.

These are truly recycled (as all my needles are) - they come from estate sales, knitters who no longer want them, etc. Therefore, my color selection is always in flux. Silver, pink, blue and green are the most common, but other colors pop up all the time. Please state if you have a preference, or convo me if you feel really strongly about a certain color.

Price is per bracelet. Buy a bunch - they look great together on your wrist!
