My final reflection of my 20 Time Project.
So it took me 5 hours to finish the necklace and I made it only half as long as I originally intended. I had hoped to make the necklace long enough to wrap around my neck two times but the process took a quite a long time. At times, I found I was spending 15 minutes on one bead. The challenge was pulling the thread through the bead. I would gt stuck, snagged on the inside of the bead. I tried one of Grandma's techniques of putting three smaller beads together and by the second time I had figured it out. Once I had it long enough for one loop around the neck, I tied off the end and knotted the two end together. Weaving the end pieces together took another 30 minutes because I had to be very careful not to snag the twisted thread with the point of the crochet hook. I got it done and here is the final product. I think Grandma would be proud! I miss you Ann Ann. |
