Free Patterns for Jewelry Knitting
Jewelry knitting is my newest craze. I just discovered it and all the cool knitted jewelry online, and I can’t get enough of the stuff. Some of it actually uses yarn. Other times, it involves knitting with more surprising materials. Either way, it’s always fun, and it creates unique and interesting results. You can make jewelry for yourself, for presents, or for charity: I love to tuck knitted jewelry into other donations I know are going to women. Often women in trouble are facing psychological pain as well as physical need, and the gift of something purely pretty and fun can make all the difference. If you’ve never tried jewelry knitting, these free knitting patterns are a great place to start. They’ll help you start on the road to your reputation as a crafter extraordinaire.
