[Nfb-krafters-korner] How are the beaded projects doing?

[Carol Osmar]

Eileen, You might find it helpful to place the ring of 12 beads 
on something like a large knitting needle or wooden spoon to hold 
it in place while you bead the second row.  I was having the same 
problem as you described and this really helped.  After the 
second row I was able to hold it in my hand and know where to 
place the next bead.  I also found it is easier using fishing 
line.

Don't give up.  smile
