\"ScannedImage\"<\/a>So I am one of those people that will eat dessert last. If I eat it first, it means that I am skipping dinner. Even as a kid with T.V. dinners, I would save that little two bit dessert of fruit cobbler until the very end. I still do this today; I eat my most favorite part of any meal last.<\/p>\n

So now what does this have to do with crochet? Well not a whole lot, except that if I find a \u201cspecial\u201d yarn or accessory I have a difficult time getting around to using it. I want to \u201csave\u201d special until I find the right fit.<\/p>\n

This is true with a couple of things I have received over the last year, but I am forcing myself to bring them to use. After all how can I truly enjoy them if they are tucked away somewhere \u201cspecial\u201d. So I begin this process by making my own necklace.<\/p>\n

\"DSCF0881\"<\/a>

My “Special” Creation with Mini Masterpiece Pendant and Kreinik Twist Yarn<\/p><\/div>\n

Those that see me often know I do not where all that much jewelry, just a simple necklace of a single pearl, a pair of earrings and a handmade bracelet. All things that have some sentimental value to me, and bring back memories, so receiving a Mini Masterpiece Pendant<\/a> this last summer from one of its creator Shelby<\/a> Allaho<\/a>, immediately placed it in a \u201cspecial\u201d category.<\/p>\n

I will admit the pendant is a little bigger then I am use to wearing, at least daily, but I think that I would put it to use on \u201cspecial\u201d occasions. So the Mini Masterpiece Pendant<\/a> is actually a small wooden frame, it is light weight and has a simple, yet decorative design. It is meant to frame a piece of stitching, (or anything your imagination can conceive of), but this also became a \u201cspecial\u201d hang up for me. What is \u201cspecial\u201d enough to be placed in the frame\u2026( I possibility might have a problem here)\u2026.<\/p>\n

A few months ago I also received some Kreinik Twist Carry-Along Yarn<\/a> color #339 Teal. So this carry along yarn is a lace weight, and has a lot of sparkle. So it got me thinking\u2026.these are two things that I might be able to combine. I played around with many possible small motifs created out of Twist<\/a>, and found that the yarn is very soft, has a nice elastic quality in the stitches, and as I stated earlier, has a nice sparkle. This yarn is intended to be used with a heavier yarn, to add a little something extra to your overall fabric, but I decided to use it by itself. I was quite happy with the result.<\/p>\n

I made a simple 2 round motif (if you want to make one too, here are my notes on the pattern:Rnd 1: Ch 10, sc in first ch, *ch 9, sc in same ch as sc; rep from *2 more times. (4 ch=9 loops)Rnd 2: Sl st in each of the next 3 ch of ch-9 loop, ch 4, 4 tr in ch-9 sp, ch 5, *5 tr in next ch-9 loop, ch 5; rep from * 2 more times, sl st to top of beg ch 4. Finish off. ) Then stitched it to the frame, I then added a single pearl bead to the center. It is airy, light, and I enjoy the shape created in both the positive and negative space.<\/p>\n

This is a very creative concept to \u201cframe\u201d your stitch work and it does give you something to think about\u2026What would you frame? I have always felt that crochet is an art; I guess I may need to get some more frames.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
