These three necklaces are really pretty – works of art.  I see such crocheted items all the time.  I’m wondering if anyone would actually wear them?  I have no neck – none – so they wouldn’t suit me at all.  But, would YOU wear one of them or purchase (or make) one for someone you know would wear it?

Comments

  1. First one – nope. Sorry, but to me it looks as if the yarn and button baskets threw up.

    Second one – wouldn’t wear it now but maybe 30 years ago when I was 20. My daughter might wear it.

    Third one – same as the second one.

  2. No, I would not wear them and I am pretty sure that anyone I would make them for would not, either. But then most runway styles, I would not wear. Guess I have a label on my forehead, “old’fashioned”.

  3. Funny, I have been mulling over the idea of making such a necklace for the past couple of days. I want to create a variety of red and purple flowers and put them on a bib necklace to wear to my Red Hat Society functions. I’m just trying to decide how close to my neck I want to go, whether metallic threads would be too uncomfortable, and how deeply dimensional I want it to be.

  5. I’d wear the red one although I might be more likely to wear it in black or blue. I’ve been working on trying to make something like it actually although in a slightly less overwhelming design.

  7. I would wear the last one over a crewneck top in beige or soft rose, so that the necklace looked like a yoke. The other two? Maybe if I was still twenty, under a flowing pirate shirt with pencil jeans and high-heeled boots.

  8. I kinda like the 3rd one, but am thinking more in terms of sewing those little medalians on the neck of a tee, maybe.

  9. I may wear the red one once with a black dress.
    That is about it though. The first one was just too confusing for me

  10. Sorry but I hate the 1st one. If I had a smaller and longer neck I would definitely wear either of the the others, they are beautiful.

Christmas Poinsettia Candle Cozy Crochet Pattern – A Pretty Little Holiday Make for Battery Tea Lights

If you love adding little handmade touches to your Christmas decorating, this Christmas Poinsettia Candle Cozy from CraftBits is such a pretty project. It is festive, eye-catching, and just the sort of small crochet make that can add a lovely pop of holiday color to a table, shelf, or mantel.

What I really like about this pattern is that it feels special without being overwhelming. It is a sweet seasonal project for dressing up battery tea lights, and the poinsettia design gives it that classic Christmas look that never gets old. It would be gorgeous as part of a holiday centerpiece or made up in a few sets for decorating around the house.

You might have seen this one featured on Crochet.CraftGossip before, and it is easy to see why it is worth another look. It is cheerful, decorative, and a lovely way to bring a little crochet into your Christmas styling without taking on a huge project.

If you are in the mood for a small festive make, this one is definitely a pretty pick.
