CORD THRILLS

I am so excited and delighted with the scrumptious texture of the front post double crochet cords.
They are so easy and emerge looking complex and architectural!

I started a triangular one and kept on going, knowing I wanted it for a necklace, did a round one and stopped the sample.

Played with the sample and it immediately reminded me of Fulani earrings that the Met (museum of art) used to sell, so I tried it again. I made a mistake with the second one and so had a six ridge vs. a five ridge and so got to see what that looked like, too. I think I'll try the four-ridge tonight, just to have a sample.

I felted a five ridge/circle and it became tighter than i expected--- a textured bead! I'll post these pix, too.

Thanks again, Bonnie!

Cords, Necklaces

I've found the stitch patterns to serve as necklace cords, vines and backdrops for my flowers.
My online search yielded the lobster stitch. Fab and fun once I realigned my stitch perception.
Then I asked and it was answered on the FreeForm Crochet Group on Yahoo, my crochet home away from home. Bonnie P. has amassed a treasure trove of stitches and motifs.
I'm cord happy!The
cluster braid looks like little triangles or pennants, the doublecrochet chainless spiral also filled the bill for me as did the bobble braid. So now I have 4 necklaces in progress, and more flowers to make.
