I had a very busy day today! It started at the car dealer getting an oil change and emissions test, then I drove down to Illinois for visits with many people and dogs. I had dinner at a diner on the way north, and I beaded at a friend's before coming home.
If you've missed the first parts of my "possible something", you can catch up here and here. When we last left off I had stitched five triangles. I was able to complete another three, so I'm up to eight:
I still have a long way to go. I'm still concerned about the curve, but the zigzagging I talked about might resolve itself on its own once the bracelet is put on. There was discussion tonight about bracelet vs. bangle, and I hear that bracelets are more popular than bangles. If that's the case, then I have fewer triangles to stitch. I may end up making both to see if they both work. That's a lot of stitching, but I like my tutorials to be thorough.
When I was done with the eighth triangle, I played around with the piece. If I stitched a ninth one to the first one with a twist in the middle, I could have something very interesting:
Picture the ninth triangle up at the top where my finger is. I don't know if it could be used for a pendant or another jewelry component. It might make an interesting beaded sculpture.
I am home all day tomorrow, so if I'm not sleeping I should get a lot done on this and/or the baby pullover.
