GailC Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 (edited) Someone asked me to post a picture of the necklaces I make. These have been very popular. They're lightweight and just slip over your head. The pictures don't really do them justice, because ladder yarn is just gorgeous. Here are just a few of the scads I've made.

GailC Posted December 8, 2011 Author Share Posted December 8, 2011 I've made a few button rings. My granddaughter liked them, as well as a shop owner in Somerset Ky, and a few other people. I mostly concentrate on the necklaces though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GailC Posted December 8, 2011 Author Share Posted December 8, 2011 A couple more pictures. I did a couple of craft shows this year. The pendants sure outsold the candles. But I still like making candles too. And I just started making soap! :smiley2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GailC Posted December 8, 2011 Author Share Posted December 8, 2011 Just one more picture. This is the pendant my lovely granddaughter chose...it looks even prettier on her! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksranch Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Those are pretty - so do I understand correctly that the necklace part is made of yarn?? ((It's hard to tell, as you mentioned, from the pics)) If so, are you doing something (stitch wise) with it?? It is pretty! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lightning Bug Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 From the picts you look like you have been very busy. I like the necklaces best. I always wondered what ladder yarn was used for...and this is a good example. Very nice. Maybe next Christmas I'll do them for my granddaughters! Your granddaughter is lovely. Do you buy the pendants or recycle form other necklaces? Fun work. Beth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GailC Posted December 9, 2011 Author Share Posted December 9, 2011 (edited) Thanks for the compliments, ladies. I crochet a chain with the ladder yarn. easy peasy. Usually, I crochet two chains, unless the pendant is small. Ladder yarn looks nothing like yarn. But that's what it is called.I have bought a few pendants from Hobby Lobby, when they're half price, I've made a few out of buttons, but the vast majority I buy off ebay. Some of the same stuff the craft stores sell, but a much cheaper price. That's how I am able to sell the pendants so cheaply. Beth, I have recycled a few pendants, making them from old vintage earrings, or necklaces with broken chains, etc. The brown one below is a button, believe it or not, and the blue one was an earring I got from my Mom's large stash of stuff. (I glued the bail to the button to make a pendant. I learned that new word, bail, when I started all this. I'm learning even more new words now that I've ventured into a little soap making, like Saponification. :smiley2:) Edited December 9, 2011 by GailC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
