I made it myself, with wool . . .
but I didn't knit it.
It's the Petal Necklace, from Imperial Stock Ranch.
A few weeks ago, I attended a wonderful event at Sheep's Clothing, my local yarn store - a Saturday with Imperial Stock Ranch. Jeanne Carver, one of the current owners, shared the amazing history of this ranch -- actually the headquarters is a national historic district! And then there was the fashion show - (look for more Imperial Stock Ranch projects in this space in the future), and finally a class with Leigh Radford, who, among many other accomplishments, designed the Petal Necklace. The necklace is needle felted - not a craft that is likely to usurp knitting in my life -- but I'm tickled with the results. It's definitely an unusual piece of jewelry - I wore it today and got several compliments, and possibly a curious look or two as well. But I'm a knitter, and it's WOOL jewelry -- I love it!

Very cool! It looks great -- and fun, too. Isn't it refreshing to try something new?
