For the Professional Development Day at last year's CGOA conference, I wore a necklace similar to this one.  I received many compliments and Carol Alexander liked it so much she asked me to design this simpler version for Crochet! magazine.

 

I enjoy creating my own jewelry.  Artwork like this is one-of-a-kind and quickly adds interest to any outfit.

 

I will be posting tips and photos on how to weave this knot (on a page to the LEFT).

Please send me photos of your finished projects - I would love to see it made in other colors!

One of my favorite spring flowers is the Bleeding Heart.  It is amazing how the flowers look like hearts and hang delicately  from biggest to smallest.

I thought this unique bookmark would make a great gift for any gardener who also loves to read.

This project is crocheted with Aunt Lydia's Fashion 3 Crochet Thread which has a beautiful sheen and is a little thicker than the usual crochet thread (Size 10) making it easier to work with for some.
