Whit's Knits: Treasure Locket for Mom

TLbeautyshot2.jpg

Mother's Day is awfully sneaky, so I'm issuing an alert: Mother's Day is nigh! On May 11th you will encounter your mother's outstretched hand, and you best have something to put in it! What a great opportunity for a handmade gift - you get to avoid Hallmark, make crafts, and give a real gift of appreciation.

The Treasure Locket is a necklace with a small pouch that holds a beautiful little crocheted ring.  It's small in size, but big in details. To make the Treasure Locket takes some patience and nimble handwork, but I think the care that goes into it shows. That, after all, is the point - to show you care!

For instructions on how to make the Treasure Locket please visit my Project Journal. Thanks! - Whitney

Stunning. I would be so happy to get this on Mother's day. I would make it for my mum if I had one. It's just so clever.
