[Nfb-krafters-korner] ending bracelets and other beading items

[Laurie Porter]

Yes, you can tie a single knot with the 2 strands, but you'll have to 
position the knot as close to the work as you can. then bring each strand 
back through a few of the stiches down from the end, then when you get to 
the desired place anchor  your threads by bring them through the beads 
twice, or if you can, 3 times. Then tie off your final knot, using either 
double or tirpple knots or a few square knots. Hope this helps.
