AAARRRRRRGGGHHHHH!

Okay, I think I have beading dyslexia! I couldn't wait to try this but my attempt was lousy. I couldn't tell which side of the bead to go up and which side to go down. The problem seems to be with the base row (ring). The holes on my ring of 6 beads were next to each other around the straw rather than facing up and down like in the video. I am going to keep trying and see if I can connect the beads so the holes face up and down. Any suggestions from all of you talented beaders will be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Leslie - I am not commenting on the blogs of today. But have a question relating to your method of the Spiral Stitch as shown in the video on BB&J .

( This is the best and easiest method I've ever seen.)

I think I can use this same technique for making a necklace??

Can your technique also be used for other spirals such as the Cellini or the Dutch?

Thank you for your response.

I just recently signed up to recieve your blog and today played your instruction for the Chevron and St. Petersburg stich. Your instructions are just great! You tell us, print out instructions then show the video. I feel like I know exactly what to do when your done.

Hi Dorrie and everyone--

This is such a good thing to point out. We editors are ALWAYS learning new things, just like you guys. No way do we all know it all! How can we teach if we are removed from the learning process ourselves? Plus, some things we do not do frequently, and have to re-learn and refresh to bring our skills up to par for you. Plus, as the web shrinks our world, more and more techniques become available that we never saw before, and that just rocks, if you ask me. I love that there are things out there I've never tried before!

To be sure I'll share them with you, eventually!

Hi Leslie,

I figured I should comment on your blog today. When I read that you were learning the Chevron and the St. Petersburg sitch, I was like, "Well, I know them already. Why is she just learning them?" I have seen a lot of your work and took it for granted that you knew all there was to know in beading. It didn't occur to me that we are always in the learning process. I took it for granted that you knew ALL the beadweaving stitches, because you are an editor and presenter of many projects and have been beading for a long time. I assumed that all of you, who worked for a magazine, knew all the stitches there are in beadweaving. It didn't dawn on me that you, like the rest of us beaders, are still learning.
