Graduated Freshwater Necklace

[khanzy]

Khanzy, you usually have the make the hole of the last three pearls larger with a reamer for the thread to pass through.

Thank you, Karin. I will look for some resources about how reamers work and which supplies to get!

forgot to add...while learning to knot, and even for a while afterwards, clamshell crimp covers are your BFF! they cover all sorts of errors. especially if it is a piece you're just making for yourself - almost done with that 36 inch rope, when suddenly a knot slips and you have a gap in your strand? no do-overs - just cover/fill that gap with a crimp cover! just looks like a nice little random gold or silver bead.

Thank you! Very good information from you, Pattye and GemGeek about using crimps to conceal those knots or extra spaces
