Phew, this one tested my beading abilities. But that's what learning is about, right? At one stage I got a bit casual and stopped referring to the printed pattern, just watching the bead patterns emerge. That was fine until there was a mistake. Then I couldn't find my place on the pattern and couldn't work out what mistake I'd made in the threading! I had to unravel to a 'known point'. After that I was more careful, keeping track of where I was on the pattern and checking the beading regularly. The pattern came from L Beads, h
ere's a link. I think it was worth the effort I had to put in!
Wow! Beautifully done!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely worth the effort ππ
ReplyDeleteIs it possible to alter the number of beads (girthwise) in the same rope, with slight tweaking of pattern if required ? Eg. Starting with an 8 bead pattern and moving to 10 and back to 8
Your image above gave me this thought.
I think so. But beyond my capabilities to alter a pattern in that way at the moment. I tried to show different parts of the pattern, but it distorted the look of the necklace somewhat.

DeleteI get that transitioning between beads can be quite an advanced skill. You have been extremely diligent in your experiments π
Wonderful necklace!! :)
