There's a story behind the name, and you can read it here. These are really easy to knit. In fact, this is my first time knitting with wire and beads. I am hooked. :)
Someone was asking about making this into a bracelet. I had originally thought to do a bracelet as well, but I don't think the wire would withstand the wear it might get on your arm without crushing and losing its shape. Okay, I'm actually thinking of myself. I tend to...er...be hard on jewelry, so I always try to make my stuff Rosemary-proof. But stand by! I am working on another solution. :)
They are absolutely beautiful! Very creative.
ReplyDeleteI was looking at all the patterns in the new knitty... it wasn't until I scrolled through the pattern to the designer bit at the end and saw "Designs By Romi" that I realized "Hey! It's her!!"
ReplyDeleteThey're lovely! I've wanted to try wire knitting for some time now...
Oh, those are exquisite, Rosemary! Your creativity just astounds me. :-)
ReplyDeleteVery nice!! I saw your pic with that pattern, and it was like finding out someone I know is famous! Hehe
ReplyDeleteThose are soooooooooooo pretty (because adding vowels makes it sincere:D)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your lovely napkin ring pattern. I'm thrilled to find it - something wonderful to do with all those beads I'd been "collecting".
ReplyDeleteThose are amazing! Also, I didn't realize until I clicked through to your blog that you're the woman I bought a shawl pin from for my mom for Christmas! You're a very talented lady.
ReplyDeleteHad to drop by from Knitty and let you know that these are beautiful. I love your pins, too!
ReplyDeleteThank you all so much for your kind comments! Hope you enjoy. :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your published pattern. The napkin rings are just lovely.
ReplyDeleteI lovelovelovelovelove the napkin rings!!! I've been hooked on knitting w/ wire and beads from the handknit holidays votive sleeves! You're napkin rings are so delicate and gorgeous, and excellent job on the pictures!!! Too bad I won't have time to knit them as presents for the holidays! With a set of crisp linen napkins it would be an awesome present!
ReplyDeleteThose are great! Congratulations!
ReplyDeletewhoohoo!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your beautiful pattern and making a wire knitting convert of me! This stuff is truly addictive!
