I don't often work with black thread, I think my eyes are too old for it. At the recent craft fair, I did sell a bracelet which I'd made for my daughter but she "grew out of/ grew up of" so I'd put it on the table to see what would happen. Blow me down, it sold. So I thought about making another and went back to Totus Mel's
pattern. I didn't do the
original in size 10 (not my thing) but she was young and slight enough that it worked.
This time I decided to modify it a bit. I know, me modify anything? But I did and I'm pleased with the result.

As you can see, the sides aren't the same, that's because I put the hooks in as I tatted but realized I needed a LOT more to go around the wrist. The difference in thread size was a lot. Actually both my slim daughter and I can wear it, she fastens it in a different place but it doesn't flop. Younger daughter said she would wear these for a wedding if they were white. (and they matched her dress) So maybe I should try a white/off white pair with beads?
