This is super cool! I found this video about knitting with it on youtube  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wzsn6EdLr5Y  Also after searching it looks Like Red Heart and a few other brands are coming out with similar "yarns" My grandma asked If I wanted to go to the big joanns a few cities over and heheh you never have to twist my arm to go to a craft store. My local joanns has 1 and a half isles of yarn so I am not a big joanns shopper when it comes to yarn... However I had to start taking pictures when I got to the one in Buena Park I really love the vanna's glamour

I started playing with wire a few years ago before my blog and while I was going through old photos I found this fun project and I wanted to share with everyone how easy this is to make! Supplies: NON WOOD crochet hook size I ( the wire can and pretty fancy hooks don't mix) 1 spool of copper wire any gauge you desire however stick to 18-28 gauge findings, I used a lobster clasp but and will do Gear charms *optional Blow torch, I used a mini one from my creme brulee kit. I found everything at my local craft store in the jewelry section 3 in 1 jewelry tool * however my my first few I used sharp scissors and needle nose pliers * They now have these kits which are cool   to use instead. put about half of you gears in a random order on your wire, randomly pull one up as you chain. I pulled one up about every other chain except for the first and last 4 chains start by making a slip knot leave about 6-8 inches before the slip knot * this will feel awkward now chain...

This pattern has no shaping like other ones I have seen so it is perfect for the beginner! It could be a great way to teach someone to crochet and help them bring awareness to a cause! My friend Ann Siggers ( you may have seen her watermelon twist afghan floating around online.. ) has a Christian facebook group and we as a group will be making these all year in between our other projects so we can give a bunch out during October for Breast Cancer awareness and next year we will most likely pick another cause! What cause are going to make yours for and why? Email me ( crochetchiq@gmail.com)  photo of your ribbon and who it represents and I will post it here for everyone to see. Here are some of the colors and their causes If I have left off one important to you please let me know and I will add it: PINK - Breast Cancer, less commonly know for Birth Parents and childhood cancers as a whole Yellow-   Support our Troops, Suicide, Bladder Cancer, ( a...
