Good morning! After a wet start it looks nice outside. I started a new project last night: knitting with wire and beads. Looks interesting. I left tea and coffee in the canteen There is some German bread, but not much else. Have a good day - I am back to knitting

Good Morning to you meebo! We have gorgeous sunshine now after a wet start as well.

Knitting with wire and beads! That sounds very different! Never heard of it so I googled it and found lovely pics like this one which is apparently simple to make. (it doesn't look it to me!) Rather lovely it has to be said - but I don't fancy sore fingers knitting with wire?

so far no sore fingers

That's good. Is it easy to keep tension?

[meebo1]

tension is not that important, I think. If this is a success, it'll make it to the next YDC, so you can check it out

I don't blame you Penni! I'm tempted.... but I just looked again & found wire crochet so I think I would rather attempt that than knitting.

I think you've started something off here, meebo!

Sounds intersting Meebo, hope your fingers dont suffer, you are very creative.

Its miserable here today, made worse by the fact that trying to put the recycling out I managed to trip over the front door injured my face & hand & feel sore all over

My worry with craft wire is rust in the longer term since it isn't steel, so any items made would only have a short life I think. What do you think?
