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.

Let’s Make the Lowink Beginners Blanket TOGETHER

We’re kicking off June 1st (plenty of time to order your kit and hide it from your cat/kids/overzealous cleaning habits). Every Saturday, we’ll tackle a new chunk of the pattern together—with plenty of moral support for when your yarn does that weird loopy thing (you know the one).

Let’s Make the Let’s Make the Lowink Beginners Blanket

Here’s How This Works:

Week 1 (June 1-7):

  •  Procrastinator’s Shopping Spree
    “Wait, I need what size hook?!” – Check your kit (or raid your stash)
    “But what if I pick the wrong color?!” – Post your yarn options in the comments and let us vote!

Week 2 (June 8-14):

  •  The “Oh God, Why Is My Edge So Wobbly?” Phase
    I’ll go live on Instagram to demo how to fix the classic beginner blunders (and yes, we’ll laugh about it afterward).

Week 3 (June 15-21):

  •  Mid-CAL Crisis Support Group
    Hit a wall? Post a photo of your blanket-in-progress with your beverage of choice (wine counts as a “beverage”). Best “I Need More Coffee” face wins a surprise yarny gift!

Week 4 (June 22-30):

  •  Ta-Dah! Party
    Show off your finished blanket—even if one corner looks suspiciously trapezoid-shaped. We’re here for the vibes, not geometry.

Why You Should Join:

  •  No perfection allowed (This is a judge-free zone)
  •  Real-time help (I’ll be stalking the hashtag #LowinkCAL daily)
  •  Sneaky giveaways (Because who doesn’t love free hooks?)

Comment “I’m in!” below—and tell me:
Are you using the kit yarn or going rogue with your stash?
 What’s your crochet nemesis? (Mine is counting stitches after row 10…)

P.S. Tag that friend who “doesn’t have time” to learn crochet. We’ll change their minds!
