C.R. Radding taught a class on fingerweaving bracelets and necklaces. She's a patient and very knowlegeable teacher; and, she makes incredibly beautiful jewelry. Most of the class made bracelets; most of the class finished their projects in class. I made a necklace and had to finish it in my hotel room. But I did finish it and I intend to make more.
Fingerweaving in progress.
Ignore the double chin and concentrate on the necklace.
This is stunning! Golly, I want to take that class.

I liek this!! Just the other day I saw some video on finger crocheting and finger knitting. Is this similar? I don't know ho to knit nor crochet but I bet finger -style might work for me.

My friend Kate taught me an interesting finger weave beaded bracelet that looks somewhat similar. I loved it, but I'm afraid my eyes are too old and fingers too fat these days!
