I continue to adore the loom. I wanted to make my wonderful friend Beth a beautiful scarf for the holidays, and decided I needed some practice with weaving colorwork before I broke out the Plucky primo sport. So one day when Kellee was over, we rooted around in my scraps bin to find something that Read more...

You are purchasing an odd count peyote digital pattern....NOT THE ITEM IN THE PHOTO!! SWEET PLEASURES is just that...SWEET! I so enjoy stitching with beads and this design just makes me smile! Bits of true color ring through and the PLEASURE is all mine, to be able to create a thing of beauty! ENJOY! I always use 4lb Fire Line fishing line to stitch; a long, size 12 beading needle; size 11/0 Delica beads; size 15/0 seed beads for the trim and I chose to use a toggle bar and ring for the closure. I used 10 different colors for a total of 1872 beads! There are 19 columns and 197 rows. I have added a simple 3-bead picot trim to PLEASURES. I used some AWESOME size 15/0 in a brown transparent ab color. This step is optional. The finished size of SWEET PLEASURES is 1 1/8 inches wide (which includes the trim) by 6 3/4 inches before adding the clasp. To lengthen your bracelet simply continue on with the striped area at each end, until you reach your desired length. I hope you enjoy working SWEET PLEASURES! What fun it was to create and stitch FOR YOU! ********************************************** Within the pattern you will find full color photos of the finished piece; a DELICA bead legend (listing of colors used); a view of the pattern in REAL TIME; an up close shot of the trim: a full color graph large enough to read easily and a WORD CHART of the pattern.

I'm not sure if everybody who does peyote stitch knows this or not but recently a friend (who is way more advanced in this beading business than I) said she wanted to learn how to do it. So I thought maybe others would want to know, too. Here's your guided tour. Please forgive the blurry photos. Also, I'm sorry I have pictures with black beads but that was what I was working with at the time. Start the same way you always do in even-count peyote, which as you know is your first and second row. Work two more rows of regular peyote as you would normally do, one bead at a time. Then, pick up the same number of beads that you started with. In my example, I used 30 beads for the first & second row, so I picked up 30 beads at this point. Bring the needle up and around to the first bead at the top -- an "up" bead. Put your needle in that up bead pointing down toward the bottom of the work. Then skip one bead on your beading thread and put the needle through the next one on that thread and then through the next up bead on the work. Repeat all the way down. Finish by putting your needle through the bottom bead on the thread. You’ve just completed two rows of peyote stitch in less than half the time it would take to do it bead-by-bead – the usual way. I’m sorry my pictures are of black beads and not great quality but hope you can see the slick way this works. I’m really grateful to Melinda Barta (and Interweave) for the video on peyote stitch that Melinda did. I used to have such trouble starting a peyote project but the way she explains it (and shows it in the video) has ended all that frustration. She’s brilliant! And I’m also really grateful to Deena at Spring Beads in Spring, Texas. I took a beginning peyote stitch class there and after the class, Deena came into the classroom and showed us this Fast Peyote. I always use this w/ peyote projects now because it just makes it all go so much faster. I love peyote stitching, too, now that it is (1) no longer frustrating to start, and (2) fast.
