I am really pleased with how this lampshade photographed. I made it from wire, silk, fancy yarn and beads.

Crocheting with wire and beads is great fun and gives an additional dimension to both crochet and knitting.

I've written about crocheting with Wire at BellaOnline Crochet and I've written about Knitting with Wire and Yarn at 10,000 Great Ideas. OK - I know it's knitting BUT the technique is the same...!
