Scallop Edge Beaded Necklace

Scallop Edge Beaded Necklace
Designed by Carol Metzger
Pattern can be purchased at her Etsy Shop



I added more loops of beads than shown in the original pattern to weigh down the necklace so it rests nicely on the neck.






Knitted scarf and cowl patterns


After months of dry, warm weather,  Northern California finally got some welcoming rains.
This is just the perfect time for me to settle on a comfy sofa and try out some of the free patterns from ravelry.com


Lace Pattern by Jimmy Beans Wool
I used Charisma yarn by Loops & Threads



Polka Dots Cowl - My first project using two colored yarns. 
This  beautiful yet easy to make pattern is a great introduction to fair isle knits.
