When we went on the Toronto Hookups retreat in April, I took a class in bead crochet. I had always resisted this sort of crochet in the past because I didn’t think I’d like it. Well surprise surprise, I love it! Not too keen on stringing the beads – mostly because I’m doing the “string one, get the other one from Clancy, string one, drop the string, chase the beads (and the cat), step on the beads, OMG this kills my back bending over like this”, kinda methodology.But it obviously worked! Here’s the proof. I’m a bit wonky on the edges (and so is the bracelet..lol), but I know it will improve.

My teacher was the wonderfully patient Lisa Carlin of Bead Frolic (her site is under construction, but if you want to get in touch with her, I can pass on your info to her).
