OK, so I fell off the WIP bandwagon and did a new project! :blush I made a wire crochet bracelet and it was so much fun... albeit a bit of a challenge at first! The last pic is more color-accurate, but the first 2 pics give a better idea of how it really looks. I sent it to a different message board friend as a surprise since she is out of work and facing some big struggles at the moment as a single mom out of work.

That's beautiful, and you must have the patience of a saint. I curse at wire enough when I'm making plain jewelry ... I think I'd create a whole new language to crochet with it. And I'm sure you're friend will be thrilled to get it.

Thanks again everyone! I had a slow night at work last night so made another bracelet like the 1st with minor adjustments in bead placement... several co-workers have put in requests now! Have to come up with a price for them. I will probably be sick to death of making them soon! :lol
