Re: Crochet necklace

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.

Oooooooo Linx! Lovely! I'd love to learn how to do this!

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. :o) Linx Wearable Art by Linx

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?

Tina

This necklace is 18.5 inches, and yes there is a lonster claw clasp hidden in the focal. :o) Linx Wearable Art by Linx
