I was exercising today and got this crazy idea. I know, I know, I should be working on my Christmas gifts. Give me a break. I was exercising. The part you can yell at me for is that I acted on my crazy idea and went to Michael’s and bought all the items to make my crazy idea and then worked all afternoon on my crazy idea. THAT’s something to beat me over the head with!
I digress. Ok, back to my crazy idea. I saw these cool wire crochet granny-square1 earrings that someone posted on Ravelry. As I was sweating to an Ingrid Michaelson Christmas song I thought it would be kind of cool to dangle the earring idea from the inside of a clear glass ornament. May I just say that I’ve never tried wire crochet and my fingers would kindly appreciate it if I never did it again. But I like the results.
If you are up for trying it out just follow the instructions for the earrings. Instead of an earring finding, I used fishing line through the top jump ring to attach it through the holes of the ornament toppers. Use the large clear ornaments (easy to find at Michael’s) because they have a larger opening. I was pleasantly surprised at the bounce-back of the wire granny square squeezing it through the whole. I only had to do minor flattening once it was inside.
1. If I hear one person remind me that I have no love for granny squares I’ll start posting daily fiber reports of a different nature.
