But then I stopped wearing my glasses except when necessary, because they trigger headaches. And so I began to collect again. At home I have a jewellery organizer as big as my door...
I didn't bring any of them to Nanaimo, so I've been slowly amassing a new collection, and I needed a holder for them.
This is a rectangle of single crochet, crocheted onto two (thrifted) dowels. I added a scalloped border for attaching post earrings.
The dowels turned out to be handy for necklaces and bracelets.

Now when I get home I'll need a solution for my other obsession: scarves!

OMG, this is so perfect! I need something for my (self-made) jewelry and have no place for a stand and have been agonizing over what I could use (corkboard in a picture frame? Cloth board?). This is the answer! Thank you!!
ReplyDeleteOoh I'm glad! Find some online advice on how to crochet onto the dowels, though. My starting row was all messed up and silly looking, lol.
ReplyDeleteOh, I've done broomstick and hairpin crochet, so I have no worries about the first row. But it's a great solution -- thanks for being so creative, I would never have thought of it myself! Cheers!
ReplyDeleteMagnificent solution!
ReplyDeleteFor scarves - 2 curtain rod holders screwed to the wall at about shoulder height + broom handle = scarf draper.
