This pattern calls for a 2 inch styrofoam ball and size 11 sead beeds. I have tried this pattern twice. The first time I did as the instructions indicated and used a 2 ' ball and size 11 sead beads and the rows would not even go around the ball and if you pull the thread tight as suggested the piece comes off the ball altogether. I then tried a 1 !/2 ' ball and size 10 sead beads. That did not work to well either. The rows will at least go around the ball but because there is such a gap between the beads you can not keeps the rows is line as they should be. Any updated information on this pattern would be appreciated.
