[Nfb-krafters-korner] I got it

[Dan Brewer]

Hi Krafters and especially beaders,

I got it, Yes, I got it figured out. The ladder stitch, that is.  My 
first bracelet isn't perfect. The tension is off at the beginning and 
the end but it is completed and here is what I found.

As you do the ladder stitch you will find that your thread comes out 
of the second to last row you completed.  Mine came out of the top of 
that stitch.  I would then, add two beads and bring them to the 
project.  I would find a bit of a mess.  The last row wants to hide 
behind the second to last row, the one with the thread coming out of 
the top.  So at that point, I put each row completed where it 
belongs.  Then I tightened the two new beads to the project. The 
thread is now coming out of the bottom of the two new beads.  Bring 
it up the row you completed just before the new beads. It is that row 
that wants to hide. Make sure it is right by the new beads.  Now you 
will have your thread coming out of the row just before the last two 
beads you put on. The thread will be sticking out of the top.

I hope this makes some sence to you.  I learned this by using 8mm 
beads.  They will not work for the clasp.  But they worked for the bracelet.

Lauri, I hope this is correct.
