About this design:
Viking knit and lampworked glass beads. This design can be worn two ways with the leaf clasp at the bottom of the neck or at the side. I think for myself I like it at the bottom is makes the piece more interesting.

Copper Penny says:Thank you Stormy, yes I have made the Viking knit. I learned about 1 month ago, it takes a bit of time to do the knitting but I believe that the finished product is so gorgeous. I am really liking how relaxing it is.

Daisy Chick - Dawn says:This is just stunning! I would love this necklace! I would also love to learn the viking knit also! Funny today I taught Sunny Chick how to crochet a necklace! Is this Viking knit done with two knitting needles as regular knitting? Love the colors and the stone you used!
