My Newest Jewelry Hobby

I found a tutorial online with directions on how to crochet necklaces out of wire. With my sis-in-law's help, we figured it out and I really love the look of them. They dress up a sweater or plain top and are very pretty and trendy for today's look. They can be made with 24 or 26 gauge wire using a simple crochet stitch and a large crochet hook. The size and length can be adjusted a bit depending on the looseness of your stitch as well as squeezing the wires tighter. These necklaces are very pliable and so much FUN! My next attempt is making lacy looking necklaces to go along with the whimsey earrings made out of trellis yarn. Stay tuned and if you need directions on how to make these, please ask. The necklaces are $25.00 each. I hope to figure out a pattern for bracelets to match and would also design earrings with the same colored beads if desired.

WHIMSEY'S-Lightweight whimsical earrings made from Trellis Yarn that can be cut shorter as you wish or remain long and sassy. These earrings are excellent for those people who cannot wear heavy earrings but yet enjoy a fun, youthful and colorful asset to their attire. $7.00 Pr.

Dec. 8, 2011 My Sis, Mary, came over to show me how to create the crocheted necklace to match the "Whimsey Earrings" made with Trellis Yarn...They are so much fun and lightweight yet add a bit of elegance to a sweater or plain shirt.. Below are photos of her finished project. All it takes is measuring and crocheting a straight stitch to make this lovely necklaces. I made one just like it in an evening. It just takes patience and perseverance to work with lattice yarn.

I also added a bracelet and earrings to match the Wire crocheted Necklaces:
