No, the grapes aren't crocheted, they're tatted over beads. They are a bit fiddly to work but I think it's worth it. I can't remember how many I had to make for the bunch, I gave up counting.
I did the grapes at a workshop with Karey a few years ago. I don't know if the pattern is in one of her books but if you email me I can give you her email address and you can ask her.

My husband of 42 years died in 2006. I have three children, two daughters and a son and four grand children, one girl and three boys.
I trained as a teacher of Home Economics in the 1960s but have been interested in crafts since I was six.
I learned how to crochet and do embroidery because I wanted to make a matinee jacket for my new baby brother.
I taught myself to tat when I left school, over 40 years ago and I'm still learning.

Is their a pattern available for the 'grapes on a vine'? Would love to make that for a grape-loving friend.
