Copper in Copper Ore cab. Copper round wire crocheted wrap. I might have posted this before. This took a long time, as my hands kept cramping. Next up is using Sterling wire for a Turquoise cab.  |

I remember when you posted this. Looks good, but can you bend it enough to straiten the bail? What gauge wire did you use?

Oops. Yes, I can bend it. I think it was 22.

22 gauge had to be tough to work with!

Yes, it was. Took way too much time. But this wrap is sold now. I am happy with what I received for it. Am going back to the 24 for future crocheted wraps, as it is much easier to work with.

My hands are cramping just looking at that picture! I can't imagine how small those crochet needles must be!  |

She is very pretty! Haha ".. my hands kept cramping". Having tried to fashion delicate "stitchwork"-like elegance in to a couple of my wraps, I can understand the difficulty and frustration you might have had!
I think you pulled it off though!

It looks cool. I can imagine the cramps in your hands, mine would be screaming at me.

Looks nice.

My arthritic thumbs said don't even think about it... Looks nice. Thanks. I have arthritis in hands. When done in moderation, this is very therapeutic. |
