Tangled Yarns

This morning I attempted my first beaded bracelet using wire crochet.  I used a 28 gauge beading wire, variety of colored glass beads and a size E/3.5 mm hook.

I didn't follow a pattern per se, but based the bracelet on a You Tube video about crocheting a necklace with wire.  Essentially, I chained 2, pulled up a bead and sc around it, then ch 1, sc around bead, and just repeat that with 15 beads in total, and ending with ch 2.  I made 3 lengths like that, then braided them together and put the clasp on.  It's definitely different working with wire, but I think the bracelet worked out ok!  Next I might try a matching necklace.

Ok, I am sooo addicted to this!  But I have to stop now, my finger is getting sore!
