Crochet necklace
Yet still
not a fair return on your time. Bead crochet is SO labour intensive! Actually, if you use larger beads (8s are my favorite) and a bead spinner, it could actually go a lot faster than peyote. JMO. |

Actually, if you use larger beads (8s are my favorite) and a bead spinner, it
could actually go a lot faster than peyote. JMO. Yes, that is my experience too. I just finally figured out bead crochet after 3 years of not getting it, and I find it is much faster then peyote, even without a bead spinner. Actually, I think it goes even faster for me then a netted rope, and that is faster then peyote as well. JME YMMV.

Then the bead in the front took a few more plus other beads. ) Linx Wearable Art by Linx http://www.wearableartbylinx.com On Ebay http://cgi6.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...userid=fearles slinx&completed=0&sort=3&since=-1&include=0&page=1&rows=25 |

The article in the new B&B by Lynn Daniel is fantastic. That's what made it
click for me, too. I have a whole bead crochet kit and a special book but Lynn's article makes it clear and easy to follow. I was about ready to give up and along came her article. I e-mailed to let her know how great it is. Roxanne "Linx" wrote in message ... Oooooooo Linx! Lovely! I'd love to learn how to do this! -- Jerri The article in the new B&B is what made it click for me after so long.

How long is this necklace? Is there a clasp of some kind hidden in the
focal? Tina "Linx" wrote in message ... Actually, if you use larger beads (8s are my favorite) and a bead spinner, it could actually go a lot faster than peyote. JMO. Yes, that is my experience too.
