i'm new to knitting (again, haha) and i made this bracelet:
(click to make them bigger)












i'm not trying to sell it here. i do, however, have an etsy shop, and i'd like to sell them in the future if i can make them look decent. any tips on how to make these better? i like the ties, because that makes them adjustable, but some people would rather have them not be adjustable, and so they'd have to be stretchy. whenever i cast off, the last row is SUPERSUPER tight and makes that curve like in the first picture. is there another way to cast off?

also, how much would something like this go for?

i plan to make many, in different colors (red, green, yellow, purple, etc) with the different buttons and things.

anyone who has ever wanted to knit should do it! find a friend, a patch of grass, and enjoy the sunshine while you learn! it's so fun!
