How can you lift the wire, when wire has no stretch to it?

Do you use a bead clip to hold the beads, while   wrapping the beginning of
the necklace.  I would think the beads would fall down and get in your way if you did not use something to hold them farther back on the wire.

Cathy says:

To begin the project you make a slipknot on peg one with the wire. This loop should not be tight so that it can later be lifted off. you place the beginning end of the wire down through the center of the loom. Then you eWrap pegs two and three with the working wire. Again wrap them loose enough to allow room to lift the loops over on the next round. 

As for the beads,, push them far enough down on the working wire so that they will not weigh down the working wire or get in the way.

A Monday night chat you ask: well, I have really explained all there is to it.  we will see what Joyce thinks.

A picture? Well, don't hold your breath on this one. I may get lucky and get some one to take a picture, but it is not real likely. It is a hit and usually miss thing when getting help in my situation.
