When I was invited to teach a class on Viking Knit at the my local arts center, I didn't think it could be done. The smallest thing I usually create is a bracelet, which would take way too long for a single class. I'd have to be a time-condensing wizard to make that happen. Since I'm not a wizard, I needed to get creative.
Solution: invent a different, smaller project for the students.
I was inspired by the necklace below, first found on Pintrest, created by the woman who posted it to this web page.
First, I have to say, her technique is lovely, and the pearls are a really great accent. Thank you for creating this, Necklace Maker!
My students will not have time to double knit or to add accent beads, but I figured a pendant like this would be an excellent beginner project.
Here is my prototype:
I think this will look great on a suede necklace cord. It took me about 45 minutes on my first exploratory try. It only needs about 4 of 5 inches of VK chain, a jump ring, and a necklace to hang it on.
I'm super excited to teach my first class in a couple weeks!
