This design was inspired by Girly Knits facebook fans! I did a poll on what girls wanted me to design with the Patons Grace neon orange yarn, which turned out to be a tank top, then gave them options of tank tops and they liked a racer back lace striped tank best. Check out the poll here!

Beautiful Crochet Earrings!

by

This weekend I made these super cute crochet earrings!  I’m in love!

Until now I haven’t dabbled much in crochet because I typically prefer the look of knitting, but I decided I should finally learn so that I can use crochet to enhance my knitted designs.  I picked up the “Crafty Crochet Embellishments” course on Craftsy because their courses are awesome and this one in particular teaches you to crochet the cutest little goodies like flowers, decorative edgings, and of course these earrings!

The instructor Linda walks you though every step with lots of helpful hints along the way.  As a newbie to crochet, I was amazed I could make these in less than an hour, they are deceptively simple and super quick.  Having someone to follow (who you can also keep rewinding 😉 ) is enormously helpful too!

What do you think of knitted and crocheted jewelry?  Have you made any?  I could definitely see it being a trend!
