So my other grandma – not the one I made the shawl for – isn’t so into the hand knits. Last year I knit a felted bag and a scarf for her and I don’t think she really liked it all that much. Which is fine because she appreciates and loves my handmade jewelry more than anyone ever has. She still wears things that I made for her literally when I was in grade school. She has also through the years given me many, many beads and necklaces, etc. that are basically bobbles from the ‘60’s for me to take apart and reuse. Gotta love that! She’s also one of the few people that I know who can really pull off fantabulous earrings.
So anyways this year I wanted to make her some truly spectacular jewelry:
I’m pretty happy with how it turned out… and all of the findings are sterling silver so it’s definitely a quality piece… I hope she likes it!
She will love it, for sure. Hope your holidays are happy!
ReplyDeleteThere is a definite plus to her liking jewelry better, it seems much quicker to make than a pair of socks, or scarves, or gloves, or other complicated knitting stuff. :-D
ReplyDeleteThe earrings are beautiful. I'm sure she'll love them.
ReplyDeleteVery nice! My grandma's favorite color is purple.
ReplyDeleteDAMN! I am so jealous of you right now that if it weren't for the fact that I know how absolutely adorable you are, I would HAVE to hate you. First the shawl and now that jewelry, WOW!
