Little rainbows

I had a handful of little plastic prisms with holes for stringing them, from someone's unfinished project.  I decided to use a bead crochet technique to create an evenly-spaced hanging of them that I could hang up.

I took a reel of fine brass wire, and strung the prisms on it in order, without cutting the wire.

Then I used a large crochet hook, and started crocheting.  Where I wanted to place a prism, I slid one up the wire, and then did the next stitch, to lock it into place.

The problem with crocheting or knitting with wire is that it twists something terrible.  Luckily, my piece was short enough that I only had to struggle with twisting wire as I was finishing up.
