Celtic Knot necklace

I'm not sure if the site requires a login; it's Lion Brand patterns.

I have difficulty wearing a lot of jewelry because my skin is sensitive to at least two metals, so even nickel-free jewelry often doesn't work for me.  I have a small cadre of pretty pieces that I've bought or that friends have given me, mostly in sterling silver, but I often forget to put them on because I never got into the habit of wearing jewelry very much.  I could wear a knit necklace.  I just need to get a spool with small pegs on it, so I could make it up in one of my fine-gauge yarns for a less-cumbersome look than the one in the picture.  Elizabeth's spool is designed for chunky-weight yarn and the stitches for worsted weight look too loose for my taste.  I might look up less bulky versions of a Celtic knot, too.

I have a purple Malabrigo that I couldn't decide on a project for.  I bought it because it was gorgeous, and I take it out every now and again to pet it.  I think I now have a possible project for it!

Try clear nail polish on the parts that touch your skin, at least for the short term. In the long term, it wears off.

It rubs off or chips, and does so unevenly, so subsequent coats end up looking sloppy. I prefer to wear my jewelry for only short periods of time and put up with a bit of a rash from that, rather than ruining the jewelry.
