Thanks! I picked up the parchment-style paper I'll use for the individual info things I put with them as well as the info piece I put with the display. I've got to finish putting together the autumn piece I knitted up yesterday, just trying to figure out what I want to do with it first.

That bracelet is freaking gorgeous, and I would be so tempted to make you ship it to Canada if I wore bracelets, lol. I love the way the colours look together. :)

Also, your seals look great! I love the textures and details on the Yggdrasil one.

Thanks! I'm going to make a couple more bracelets, then start on some more necklaces. I am going to try to get some stuff done to list on my wife's Felt and possibly Artfire shops. Felt is located in NZ (but I think people can order from overseas) and when I did a search on Viking Knit there was only one piece up (that wasn't actual knitting) so I might be able to get people there who are interested. You'll be in danger then! ;)

I would probably buy it if it were a necklace (preferably a shortish one, as I don't wear long dangly necklaces), though it would depend on the final cost with the shipping charges. :) It's really, really pretty, and the red/black/silver combination is my weakness!

Thanks for the feedback! This is a piece I'm considering making a necklace eventually. I've been making the necklaces shortish. The one I made for myself is a choker style. The bronze Pisces fish one is a little longer and the black one is much longer because of the piece of wire that is the pendant.

Although tonight I'm ready to toss my current piece against a wall! I've got ideas on what I want to do but the bracelet part is long and every time I think I've got a decent hook the darned bracelet is way too big. I've wasted a few feet of both 16 and 18 gauge wires trying to get it sorted. I've given up tonight, after about 2 or more hours of working on it. I'll play with it tomorrow. I've got callouses and a possible blister from working with the tools for so long tonight as well as the past few weeks.

Once I finish the current bracelet I can work on a piece with my weakness--lapis lazuli.
