I thought I would share these photos of a beaded crochet scarf I recently completed using Bamboo Thread. I think with the popularity of crocheted scarves we see mostly heavier weight yarn ones at least around here. But after her trip to New York my daughter informed me that, at that time anyway, they were wearing silk scarves there. I happen to have done most of my scarf pin photos using the heavier yarn scarves and sweaters as they show up better for photography purposes. But the pins do work just as well on silk scarves, cotton bandannas (think Rodeo Days) and this light weight crocheted thread scarf. I just wanted to encourage everyone to think about other ways to use the same piece of jewelry.
Just remember that fine silver is softer than sterling silver in much the same way that 24 carat gold is softer than 14 carat. When adding other minerals to increase strength you decrease the value of the precious metal. This is something we keep in mind when choosing how different pieces are made.
I love this. I think I say this all of the time. This is a beautiful scarf and hard to believe that you can move from one project to the next so easily. Your silver pin looks awesome on it.
