Long time no read!

It has been rather quiet on my blog lately.  Less time to blog or read blogs. Working much more with my iPhone or iPad instead of with a normal PC makes writing of blogpost less efficient.  On the other hand, making pics with the phone and posting them on Facebook or Instagram is very, very easy and quick. Lazy me! 
  
Still crocheting, as you can see.  These are my newest designs made with Guttermann yarn, takes about 10 hours to crochet one.  They are all OOAK.

Took up an old passion again: knitting! Following one year of evening class for advanced knitting.  Love it!

Tassel thread

 

On my trip to the Provence I found a bobin of tassel thread in shades of raspberry.  I wanted to make a necklace entirely crocheted with this yarn.  The bobin was composed of 4 threads, so I made the base with a 2.50 crochetneedle and added extra color to the edges by crocheting them with Gütermann sewingyarn in matching colors.  Can be worn single = long, 

or double = short. 

It took me about 16 hours to finish it!

Before and after

 

Most strands are sold way to short to make a necklace out of one (approx. 40 cm), so one needs to be inventive to make the most out of one strand.
