Beading magazines, pearls & knotting

Since pearls should be knotted between them, how come in magazines like
BeadStyle, they show/print jewely designs/instructions but they don't
knot between the pearls?

Thanks! I took a knotting class, and it's *still* not easy for me! I
guess I need more practice.

I think it's because BeadStyle mainly features beginner's projects, and
knotting pearls isn't easy or intuitive at first.

Which method did they teach you? They taught us two different ones, and one
was much easier than the other. (Tweezers were lots easier than the awl.)

They taught us using the tweezers. I don't remember what the method
was, but you put the pearl on, take the short end, then drop it into the
loop and put the tweezers into the loop next to the pearl and push the
knot down close to the pearl.

That's the one they taught us -- we all loved it! It was much easier than the
awl method. Thank your lucky stars you were taught that one! haw

I started off doing it backwards...I was taking the longer end and
putting it thru the loop, instead of the shorter end. I kept wondering
why I kept getting all tangled up! *L*
