A Mix
About this design:
One of the reasons that I wanted to learn to do viking knit was so I could pair gemstones and beads with the knit. This is what I have done here with some that I had left over.
I am not crazy about the bead cap covers I would like them to fit a bit better over the wire but I will be on the lookout.
Components:
Fire Agate, Kazuri Bead and White Howlite.Read the comments (or add your own)
