Better than your Mother's Pearls - Part 2

June's birthstone is pearl . See this post to learn more about how this beautiful gem is created. This coming month I will be featuring some classical and also unusual one-of-a kind pearl jewelry pieces in my etsy shop. Here is a preview.

Crocheting A Necklace

I recently learned to knit and have been knitting up a storm all winter long. I have found the knitting videos very helpful when I get stuck on a specific type of stitch or need to review what I have already learned. I have wanted to try crocheting with wire so I bought myself some fine gauge artistic wire in silver, gold and brass and added some stunning swarovski beads . I was very happy with the results and plan to make some beautiful pieces with pearls and perhaps silver beads . Now that I can crochet, hopefully I can add some trim to the next sweater that I knit.
