I only made basket earrings once before. They are smaller than the pendant and make filling them a bit of a fiddly thing. I had an idea now (could have had that one earlier!) how to put in the "needles" in an easier way, so there might be more after all.

I love these, Cat. The little baskets areso sweet, and fiddly or not, your attention to detail amazing. If you were to market these to knitters, I think you'd corner a niche market with this design. Dawn

Thank you, Dawn! I had asked in our LYS about them taking them in commission, but I never heard back.
I did sell three pendants and these earrings in an FB group in the last two weeks, however, and have been asked if I'll post more. I always need a break in between, you know how I am with repeating a design.

Congrats on the sales, Cat! I hear ya about repeating designs. After making the spider web earrings, I was so tired of repeating that particular design over and over and over. Dawn

Thank you! I just sold another pair in silver, but the customer asked me if I could exchange one of the balls and make it another color. I can't exchange it, so I'll have to make another pair. I think I'll need some serious looming after that!

I misplaced my silver wire, so I had to order a new spool first. I thought that would be the trick to the first one turning up, but surprisingly it's still in hiding

How cute are these!!! (Sounds like a gnome grabbing game here; hide your wire.)

Darn those gnomes! Isn't it enough I have wire stealing cats?

They are mega cute, just like the pendant you made years ago . Great gift for a knitter (is that the correct word?)

Thank you Yup, that's the correct word. This is the only design I have always kept revisiting over the years, I think it's my own favorite.
