I’ve been trying my hand at crocheted jewelry. I have quite a stock of beads left over from making in-line links, and want to put them to good use. Of course, it’s never that simple. I had to buy thread… and beading needles… and more beads… and closures… etc, etc, etc, until I’d spent WAY more money than I had any business doing!
Most of my attempts were horrific… but I saved a few in case they were wearable.
My "silver foil rose" necklace
It looks a little better twisted
My first attempt at working with wire:
My "green with envy" necklace
My "braided pearls" necklace

I made myself a little shoulder shrug, which was fun to make and fun to wear:
Jewel tone shoulder shrug
Shrug from the front
I also made myself another dress:
Drops dress with diamond pattern and picot trim
I made my friend Larina a short and sweet bolero identical to my own. I also made her two pairs of in-line links.
Short and Sweet bolero for Larina
In-line links - act like cufflinks for a cardigan
I’ve already got two more works in progress! More to come!
