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

[Karen]

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?
