>>3010429Agreed, it’s looking much more consistent now. I’ve always been a bit averse to working single-needled because two had always felt slightly faster… but >>3010410 is much smoother to do, and as they say; smooth is fast. >Meh hands and neck like this method better too. Easier to pick up and shift positions.
>realized I never uploaded the graphic for half-step ladder. It’s got its uses, definitely good for smaller rectangular projects (5-7 beads in width). With my project (14 beads wide) it was difficult to maintain tension and the rows began buckling in the middle when tightened. >These issues haven’t occurred for me with smaller project sizes.
