Beaded Crochet Necklace

I had the idea to use crochet and beading to make a casual necklace. I think the idea was a good one, but the execution tonight – not so much. Part of the problem was that the only crochet hooks I have were much too big for the thread weight I wanted to use, and part of the problem was using thread that was a little too fine.

I’m going to try this again – I did solve a few problems tonight, including how to add beads (add them to the thread before starting). I also thought of a lot of other crochet-type necklaces to try as I was working on this, so if nothing else it was a productive brainstorming session!

Note on an older post: I made Slow Cooker Coconut Curry Chicken again tonight, and made a few changes to the recipe: 1) I added chopped red onion (half of one onion) which deepened the flavor and added some more complexity to it, and 2) I left out the cup of water, which had made the previous version too soupy. Of course, leave the water in if you’d prefer a more watery curry.
