Default I'm doing it!

I sat down with one of the Beaders' Guild beading books and decided to try
again with Dutch Spiral. Guess what! I'm doing it! Now to tackle African
Helix and then maybe...shudder....bead crochet.

Don't knock it til ya try it. lol! Linda2 and I both took a class on beaded
rope crochet together...and I loved it. She, on the other hand, loathes
trying it. To me, it's not like crochet, but I can't figure out regular
crochet from books anyways. lol!

FWIW, I needed instruction on how to do it. Books did nothing for me and I
can usually learn anything form a book.

I remember when you said you wouldn't seed bead Jerri. lol! I dare ya to try
bead crochet... :-P

Bead crochet is the easiest thing I know. Of course, I haven't done a bead
rope yet. I make bags -- small tight ones with a size 8 bead in each
stitch sometimes, or looser ones with a size 5 in every other stitch that
have a lovely flexible texture.

I made one during jury duty because it requires so little thinking and so
few tools. Once the beads are strung onto the yarn/thread, all it takes is
a crochet hook and single stitch.
