Luckily, I aim to please.
Aren't they such a throwback? Right up there with Swatch Watches and Leg Warmers! I'll be knitting a pair next! Just kidding.
These are a little tricky to get the hang of. The first one I made I started at the wrong end (start at the open end that clips). The second one went much faster and smoother. All you need is a couple double bar barrettes, some 1/8" grossgrain ribbon, and beads to weight down the ends.
But, if you have even a little touch of arthritis, be warned! These will get ya!
My grandfather used to always say, "You know those Ritis boys are trouble. And Arthur...he's the worst of them."
I was slaving over the first barrette one night last week. My darling husband looked at me and said, "I love that you're just not happy with a plain ol' barrette."
Take THAT, Arthur Ritis!
