In the mid 1980s I was in grade school. Talk about a fun fashion period for a kid! Neon colors, ruffles, big hair, and massive amounts of jewelry. Somewhere around 1984 I had loads of jelly bracelets and wore them halfway up my forearm. If I recall, most of them came out of machines you put a quarter into at the pizza parlor. While I don’t think I saved any of those high-fashion accessories, I didn’t lose the urge to wear a lot of bracelets. But here’s the thing about bracelets: they get in the way. The beaded bracelets I wear now either hurt my wrist while writing and typing or scratch up my watch crystal. But what if you could wear bracelets halfway to your elbow (or just one) and not have any watch scratching or uncomfortable wrist positioning? What if they were crocheted bracelets?
