Hi all,

Attaching some pics of my first crotchet pearl necklace. Initially my intent was to make a necklace by combining the crotchet pearl strand with a crotchet strand of Citrine stone chips, but I didn't have enough pearls. So, I went ahead and made a necklace of just the pearls.

Cheers, SR

SR,

Very fun pieces! Pearls can have such personality--casual to formal! The crochet makes them more casual, I feel.

This is totally off topic, but I saw the thing the necklace is hanging on, and I thought it was one of those things jewellers hang necklaces on, the things that are supposed to look like necks you know? And here's the funny thing...

I then realised that it was just a vase...

Now I wish I could remember how to crochet. Those are sweet!
