I’m very excited about a new design that I have been working on for ages. I’ve been experimenting with some neat new jewelry making techniques for spool knitting. I love Celtic Interlaces, and have designed a Celtic Interlace necklace. I’ve been working on it for a year or so, on and off.

Finally, I have finished
doing all the
photo editing
and writing
and pattern
formulating and
text editing
for the pattern.
Some designs
take a lot of work
to develop and refine,
and this is one of those ones.
But it’s worth it. I am pleased!
The Celtic Interlace Spool Knitted Necklace.
If you’re a regular visitor on Hankering for Yarn, you’ll know that I’ve done a lot of designs for spool knitted bracelets and other jewelry.

Spool knitted cords
make great simple necklaces as well.
You can spool knit a cord,
join the ends
to make a loop, and
hang a bead, charm,
found object
(or in the photo
a tatting shuttle)
on it, and Voila!
a necklace!
When making a spool knitted necklace, feel free to be experimental about combining yarns and threads to create unusual effects.
Dressing the yarn up by making interesting color combinations and textures will go a long way in making the necklace more unique and special.
Spool knitting is a natural for jewelry making and it can be used to create some absolutely gorgeous accessories and other treasures!
That’s very pretty, Noreen. I love all things Celtic.
Thank you so much, Eileen! Me too… I am a huge fan of Celtic interlaces, music, art…. the whole thing!
