Default 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.

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.

Below is a link to my second piece I did the other day.

Jinx,
How many tubes does it take you to get a nice sized necklace like that? I
think I use like 3-4.

I think the rope itself took me right at 1 tube or 30 grams, maybe a little
more. Then the bead in the front took a few more plus other beads. )

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.

How long is this necklace? Is there a clasp of some kind hidden in the
focal?
