In preparation for one of my workshops at Taos and for the ThinkPinkKAL, I’ve been working on a pink tassel. First, I threaded 4mm pink beads onto some heavy sewing thread and crocheted them in a chain st.
The fringe is begun by overspinning a few yarns together on the spinning wheel. You need a book for the next step:

If I hadn’t already planned to make a tassel, I could simply keep knitting, and this would be fringe on a scarf or other garment. Pretty neat, huh? I love the little gold beads. They add weight and make the fringe seem very substantial.
