I'm really getting into this bead knitting thing, you know? I made this cuff using 28gauge galvanized steel wire and glass millefiore bead chips. I'm pretty pleased with myself.
k, not *too* hard after you get accustomed to it. it felt more like sculpting the stitches than knitting them. i did a teeny piece w/ much smaller gauge wire yesterday for my 365 piece, and it was more flexible, hence more knitting-like. try it! i want to make earrings soon.
r, i've been working on my photo skills alot lately. i've seen similar 'landscape' shots of knitting on flickr, and like my effort at emulation, too.
hi michelle! i just checked out varunarnold. funny! cole doesn't do ANYTHING on the computer except check email, and sometimes he needs my help for that. ;)
i didn't realize you are into metal! i'm having fun w/ this. it is my first wire knitting endeavor, and someone on flickr already wants to buy one! whee! hugs
That's beautiful V!
ReplyDeletehey, thanks, tienne!! i'm loving it.
ReplyDeleteOMG! It's absolutely gorgeous! You should be totally loving it. :-) Is it hard to work with the wire? I've often thought of trying it.
