This is my latest craze. I want to learn jewelry making/beading. I bought lot of stuff last week and this week. This is my first complete set. Have so much to improve, but I already love it.

I got a big bunch of white beads(don’t know if they are pearls, but atleast they look like pearls). They are a collection of different sizes and slightly different shades. I thought I had used same shade for the necklace, was very careful, but when taking picture, I realized they are of slightly different shade. Have to be more careful next time. Don’t want to redo this one. So I will keep this as it is,

I also need different kind of thread. I don’t like the wire that I used to make the necklace. It is too stiff.

It took me about 6 months to finish. I worked bit by bit when I got time after work. I thought I could never even finish it. But finally this is all done. V loves it. It looks great. There are some finishing touches that I need to be more careful next time. I don’t like holes in the neck. But in all, this has come out really nice.

I had a very hard time working with DPNs, but I was hell bent on learning knitting with them. I don’t call this is one of my best works, because there were too many mistakes. But V loves these.

He didn’t want fingerless mittens/gloves, so I worked with the one and only one glove pattern I found on the internet after searching for a while. Looks like people have stopped knitting these kind of traditional gloves. They are very warm.
