Necklace






So I knitted a necklace!  I found inspiration from here via Pinterest

I'm not chuffed with my colour joins and has me debating whether it is good enough to give away or not.

Do people wear knitted jewellery?  Do you?

I haven't worn jewellery for almost 10 years.  I just find things hanging off me irritating.  But I like the look of this coloured cord.  It feels like a scarf on.  I used 100% wool.  The coloured wool is Bendigo Woollen Mills and the white is Moda Vera.  I am thinking of trying Bendigo Woollen Mills' cotton next to see how that looks.  It may also be a bit cooler to wear in the warmer weather.

I took a bunch of pics wearing it but then deleted almost all of them because it kinda looked like I was taking pics of my boobs.

And clickety-clacking an i-cord on my DPNs had me wishing I owned a french knitting thingy.

    I have never seen a knitted necklace before. You might be about to start a huge fashion trend!

    I like it! In fact I thought you must have done it on a french knitting thingy, that would be to go I reckon.
    Still you did a great job and I love the colours.

    Hi, nice to come across your blog! Your clever to make that necklace, and the slippers below. Two things I wish I could do - knit, and sew. I'm hopeless at both... it seems you have plans for an online store down the track. Good luck with future ventures! Alison
