Crocheted Necklace & Earrings

[angel]

Hi all,

It's been a while since I've posted here. I lost my 'crochet mojo' at the beginning of the year but I've gotten it back again. This is my most recent Finished Item and my first attempt crocheting with wire:

It's a very simple design but if anyone is interested, I'm happy to post the pattern (edited to add: pattern here (http://www.glorious-day.org/blog/blog/2007/12/pattern-for-jewellery-set.html)).

There are a few more photos on my blog (http://www.glorious-day.org/blog/blog/2007/12/everything-i-need.html).

What a lovely set! I have never crocheted with wire but you make me want to try. I love the simplicity of it. Very elegant, Michelle!

Very elegant. :cheer

Yes, please post the pattern, they are beautiful. I'm getting short on time and ideas for my three lovely daughters in law and these would be great. I've given them hats and scarves several years running so need something different. Thanks, Zaraliz

I haven't actually liked the look of much crocheted jewelry so far because it seems so big and clunky, but I really like this! Very simple and elegant. I'd love the pattern. What gauge of wire is it?

[Shebop]

Very delicate! Its lovely, great work!

I think your jewerly is really pretty. You did a really good job
I don't know if I could make wire jewerly.
Question:
Does it hurt your hands? I have arthiris in mine. I was wondering. ? Pinkroses

[Fonda]

Very nice.

Thanks, everyone, for your comments. I will post the pattern soon (edited to add: pattern here (http://www.glorious-day.org/blog/blog/2007/12/pattern-for-jewellery-set.html)).

Pinkroses - my hands hurt after I crochet with thread and a small hook but they didn't after this. I am not sure if it will hurt your hands but it is a simple and quick set to crochet, I suppose you could take your time with it and see.

Thank you, especially for saying that it didn't hurt your hands. Just what I need, something I can make without pain, or at least, without a lot of pain. Thank you for sharing. Zaraliz

Wow! How elegant! I tried wire, but it didn't turn out nearly so pretty...that is a lovely set!

[cher49]

Beautiful!! Projects with wire have been on my to do list for a while now ... something I simply must play with after Xmas gifts are done!

[Jenilynn60]

These are just beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing the pattern - I can't wait to try it!

[Debbi-a1]

Beautiful set! I tried wire once and it didn't turn out this nice. I may try again thanks you your beautiful work.

I was afraid to look at a pic of crocheted jewelry, but I am absolutely floored! That is sooo gorgeous. It made me want to make one (or a bunch) and wear them every day. I'm new to crocheting, though, so I think I will get a little more practice before I attempt wire! I will have to learn how to put beads into my crochet b/c I think that is such a lovely addition to projects.

Carrie, crocheting with beads is very easy - if you can do a chain stitch or a single-crochet (US) / double-crochet (Aus), you can crochet very effectively with beads (you can use more complicated stitches if you like but I don't think it's necessary).

Pre-string all your beads onto the yarn, thread or wire and then when you do a stitch, move the bead right up to the hook and crochet 'around' it so the stitch catches the bead and that's all there is to it :)
