To bead or not to bead, that is the question.

[PinkSquirrel]

BEAD! It looks like most people just put them in the separator rows that go between the different days, so there's not THAT much beading to do

I come with instructional links

Habs, maybe you'd like to share with the class why you're planning to be a lazy heifer and not beading?

[Deleted]

Because I've never beaded before! I'm being gentle on myself.

[PinkSquirrel]

That's a terrible excuse. Technically, I haven't beaded before either and it's not stopping me.

I'm hoping peer pressure will work in my favor and I won't be the only one throwing beads around my apartment for the next month.

Habs when have you ever let no previous experience stand in your way? Put your big girl panties on and bead!

[pixy0stix]

Just bead it (buh buh), Just bead it... BEEEAAAD IT...

Sorry. I had to.

pinksquirrel better hold my hand. Plus, I'd have to go get beads. I don't wanna go back in the craft store!

Okay, I actually do and that's the problem.

I have beaded before, but only while knitting a necklace.

I think the part that scares me is the 425 beads required. That is a lot of beads to string before even casting on...

[beautifulfields12]

Habbs, it is actually pretty easy when you are in it.

pinksquirrel says you don't have to string them all on first. I will make her clarify when she comes on today.

[PinkSquirrel]

Yes, I love when peer pressure works!! I promise to hold your hand every step of the way, Habs.

If you use the crochet hook instructions (second link) I posed above you pretty much toss it on the crochet hook and plop it right off. It looks relatively quick and easy and there is no stringing involved. I would not be doing beads if I had to string them all first. I haven't had that kind of patience since I was 8.
