FO: Silver Squares Necklace

Another Christmas gift for mom. But a shorter story...

She asked, I knitted.

Silver Squares Necklace from AlterKnits. Ravelry project page here.

While I had every intention, after the last silver squares I knit, to explore this medium a bit more, I haven't yet. Knitting this necklace again has renewed my interest. I've got some ideas brewing that use a mix of wire, yarn, and/or beads. We'll see if I make it happen!

I wish I loved knitting with wire--it killed my hands the few times I've tried it. Your necklace is gorgeous.

Beautiful! I just may have to try this, I have a friend I think would really like it. Hmmm.....

I am curious to see where this leads you! I've never tried it, but I remember being interested during your first experiment. This piece for your mom is really cool!

i once took a class on knitting with wire and really enjoyed the process. can't wait to see what else you come up with!

very pretty. Considering one of my first interests was jewelry making, you'd think I'd have tried this out. I love the necklace and the photography.
