Crochet

CrochetI still clearly remember in my early twenties when my grandmother taught me to crochet. To this day, I'm grateful to her for her insistence on the way I held my hands while crocheting. I can crochet like the wind without tangling my wire because of her.

Crocheting was one of the first ways I learned my own hand skills and to this day, I'm still exploring the technique. The first piece of exhibit jewelry I made was also crocheted in fine silver wire. ________________________________________________________________________________

In this section of tutorials, you'll find some of my most successful efforts at integrating crochet with fiber and wire. I love color but adding fiber to wire jewelry has often been challenging. As a designer, my own feeling is that for fiber to be effective in jewelry, it is best combined with metal. While that may not always be true, it's certainly worked well for my work.

In these tutorials, you'll share in my discoveries of how to use wire, fiber and crochet in some unusual ways. Did you ever try crocheting with both strands of fiber and wire together? Have you ever tried crocheting ONTO wire with fiber? Have you ever crocheted into chains? If not, let me show you how. In doing so, use these options in technique to expand your skills and increase your enthusiasm for the wonderful art of crochet. _____________________________________________________________________________________
