October 3, 2024--I'm working on a beautiful, beaded bracelet designed by Cynthia Rutledge called Windows to the Past. I took this as a zoom class last month and even though I didn't learn much (the class was more of a stitch-in with participants who knew the instructor well), I'm managing to muddle through. So far, I've redone the large CZ bezel twice and, for the second time, am beading up the large piece that goes around the CZ. The band itself is odd count peyote with a very different method of "turning" using a step up, step down, process. Directions have to be followed precisely. This project is a serious challenge for me, but so far, I'm up to the task. Here's what I've accomplished so far:

Like in needlepoint, there's lots of thread spaghetti when taking a class.
