Colorful Rainbow Loom bracelet from your seven-year-old daughter: Priceless.

My right hand. My right hand.

SteelyKid made this bracelet the other day at her after-school day care, while demonstrating to her friends that she could knit the rubber bands together with her fingers. She "got a little carried away," and as a result it's too big for her. "But it fit one of the grown-ups, and I said 'Hey, I bet it would fit my dad!' So I want you to have it, Daddy."

So, I have a spiffy new bit of jewelry.
