I love this necklace, both to make and to wear! It is so perfect with v-necks. The single bead version is lovely but the 3 or 4 bead versions are fabulous. It works nicely in the wool/silk lighter fingering yarns as well as the denser merino fingering yarns. Luscious to wear, a marvelous embellishment to a v-neck, casual or dressy. You probably...

There is something about the way the beads sweep across this necklace that makes it very appealing. It is fun to knit because you have to pay just a little attention. Deciding what beads to use is the most challenging part of the project. Knowing how to do German Short Rows is very helpful but if you prefer W&T, that works too.

Oh My Goodness! What a Beauty!

Total strangers have stopped me on the street to admire this necklace. The design came about because I had only six left of one of my favorite beads (amethyst lined ruby) and just had to do something with them. So, an ombre design evolved.

Kaleidoscope is a yoke style necklace, fun and easy to make, using a garter stitch, slip bead method, and short rows. In a few hours you can make a necklace to go with a favorite outfit or gift for a friend, though you may find it a challenge to give it away.

What a stunner this is! It takes a little focus and a bit more beading than most but is so worth it. I thought of this for the 4th of July but found that it goes great with a lot of summer colors and adds a bit of bling to tees and jeans. Use a silky wool, silk or linen to make a light weight necklace that is comfortable even in July.

Wow! I love this necklace! I made it for a friend as a custom piece, but like it so much I feel the need to share it. This is one of those gestalts in which the whole is greater the the sums of its parts. The beads are pretty, the yarn is lovely but when they all came together, it was just gorgeous! And yes, I did manage to give it away- but it...

I am wild about i-cords! So easy to make in so many variations and so fun to wear. A perfect use of scrap yarn. Make one for every shawl you knit. Make one for everyone in the family. Very versatile, dress it up, dress it down, try it this way, try it that. Four variations are included in this pattern, but there are endless possibilities! I am ...

The narrowest of my yoke style necklaces, this is truly enchanting. Because of its size, it works with most necklines. You will find, as I did, that it is a go-to piece. Variegated yarns and simply strung beads make for a simple project that is a perfect gift for a friend or for yourself if you can’t stand to part with it. I promise you complim...

So many things to celebrate, every season, every occasion, every outfit in your closet … A couple of hours, a little yarn, a handful of beads and you have a necklace that is so comfortable you will forget you have it on until someone remarks on how pretty it is- and they will. A perfect gift.

He describes it as having a rhythm, ...
