Crocheted Neclace with Ribbon

After long time from not making anything, I got inspired from an old wooden sewing box. Inside, there is tons of tons little treasure from "back" in the great days of sewing. A pair of three level of stocked wooden draws fanned out like an accordion. It's great! You see everything in each wooden draws.

There inside are a couple spools of crocheting threads and one very very fine crochet hook. It scribed #14 (in this scale, the hook is finer with the number growing bigger, see picture below). And I found a edging ribbon for clothing edges. Not sure what is intended.


With the help of a great lady from the great days of sewing, Mrs. Buchman helped to crochet a pearl-shape form, ~3/8" diameter sphere for my necklace. She spent 20 minutes or so, figuring out for the corrected stitch to make a little sphere.

Making 5 spheres (~3/8" in diameter), using some #8 crochet thread.
