Ring a Ring a Rosie.......

If you would like to read my thoughts on crochet rings go to the Rings Anyone? post.

Crochet jewellery is fun and economical to make. You can really use your imagination in regards to colour and texture. This is the perfect time to use novelty yarns. Rings are an item of jewellery that is hard for me to go past, so a collection developed. The rings can stretch over time or if they get wet.
