Crochet Necklace, Pale Green

Crochet Necklace, Pale Green

Made with green cotton crochet thread and an antique boot button. The necklace buttons through the "pendant," which means no irritating clasp catching in your hair, and an easier time for anyone who has trouble reaching back to attach/remove typical necklaces.

Crocheted this from various crochet threads in my stash. One half has the center turquoise disk, the other has the royal blue frill and the silver button, and they button together by overlapping.

The pink and black parts are on one side of the necklace, the antique boot button and gold frills are on the other part, and they button together. Mostly thrifted crochet thread, no pattern, just messing around.

Part of a Halloween costume in progress. No pattern for these (imagine that), just made a fairly basic cap and added closed tubes that flared a little at the base. Now to work on the shell (not crocheting that).
Hand Crocheting (7/12)

Hand Crocheting (7/12)

12 Jul 2009 138
For Lisa C.'s "A Month of Hands" project. Crocheting involves one hook, but both hands--so this isn't an action shot because I had to use the other hand to operate the camera. But it's close. Notice tv remote in background.
Crocheted hem

These thrifted trousers were great--I wore them a lot, and the hems suffered for it. They were too ragged to keep wearing, so I cut them even and added a crocheted edge instead--a quick rescue for a favorite garment.
Crochet-altered blouse

Another quick fix--this thrifted blouse is a nice weight, and I like the pattern, but it didn't fit the way I wanted. So I cut down the center front and added a few rows of crochet. (I promise the hem edge is even in reality--the photo just doesn't show that well.)

Crocheted during a two-hour meeting, one thrifted skein of purple yarn, no pattern.

This was a thrifted wool-blend pullover--I've had it for years, needed to freshen it up. Felted it a bit, cut it down the middle of the front, added crocheted trim and a button, now it's a cozy cardigan. Yarn also thrifted.
