If you’ve paid any attention to the earrings I have designed so far on Crochet Spot, such as my Spring Flower Earrings and Giselle Earrings, you will notice that I am a big fan of the long, dangle-y type. One reason is because I wear my hair down most of the time and they are the only ones that show. So I am adding to my “collection” a set of fall earrings. These earrings are loose and breezy, perfect for the season. Choose any colors you please and have fun!
