[Nfb-krafters-korner] FW: to members of fine wire necklace class

[Powers, Terry (NIH/OD/DEAS) [E]]

Cathy and fine wire class;

I have not done the necklace yet, but was wondering how you could only use 2 kinds of bead combinations, when there are 3 stitches in a round.

I just found this e-mail and I do not remember you ever saying you skipped a stitch, when putting the beads on.  Did you, like she seams to have?
If you do every stitch and only 2 kinds of beads, 2 of the same kind of bead will be right next to each other, right?

Not in her example.

What did you do, any of you?

Terry P.

Watching Olympic swimming I have had time to work with the fine wire on a regular loom to a good result. Using gold wire and blue seed beads on the 31peg KK, I e-wrapped three pegs for the cast-on and continued taking the wire back to the first peg knitting like an i-cord until I started pulling up the beads between the knitting of peg 2 and then peg 3. I knit peg 1, pulled up beads, knit peg 2, pulled up beads, knit peg 3 and returned to peg 1. This worked much easier for me than e-wrapping on the spinning Wonder Knitter and the advantage is any size of beads may be used. This was practice so it's a shorter necklace than the class project. I will knit the perals on the silver wire I purchased for this next. I've already strung all the beads for that one but wanted to be sure I wouldn't get it all kinked. 
It works up quickly and looks very nice once you get going on it. Has anyone else tried this?

Karen
