I mostly use fine-gauge crochet yarn, since most of my projects are small ones, like the necklaces shown on this page. I find my materials in local sewing and fabric stores. They are likely to change over time, so it's always a good idea to try the search again once in a while. Nautical supply places, too, might be worth checking. The knots used in the items displayed on this page were all very simple knots.
Patterns are harder to find.
I knew roughly how I wanted the finished pieces to look, but there were no patterns for them. I just made them up as I worked. Try a new search every now and then to catch recent additions. It was from one such search that I came across the next item. The results are linked to an online shopping cart.
