Yesterday I took part in our local Craft Fair. My crochet baby jacket was a hit as usual. So many talented people!!! Had an absolute blast!! Just looking at crochet baby jacket next to my jewelery has inspired me to create crochet jewellery.
Well, crochet jewelery can be easily done with beads using a fine thread or yarn. I can always use jewellery wire, but I think it’s a little hard on the hands. Another option is to crochet a rope without beads by just using a fancy fine yarn or metallic thread. And then to add a medallion as a focal point. Watch out for more news on this!
