I already know how to crochet, I just need help knowing how to place them. Love everything you girls do in the beading world. Thanks
I was so excited to see this video! Katie does a great job explaining and is so patient. I have never crocheted before but I am really looking forward to trying it. I love the Citrus Twist colorsand would love to win. I can also envision using ocean blues and greens with maybe a lilac and cream. New adventure!!! Thank you.
Great Video. Would be great to see one on how to create a pattern for crochet.
Can’t wait to try this!
I’m not very handy with needle and thread but would love to try. If it is beyond my capabilities, then I would love to use the seed beads and keep practicing my Kumihimo skills! Love the colors, love the look!
Thank you. I’m anxious to get started. I’ve had the beads for a while, now I’ve got the project.
I’ve actually did a double wave beaded pattern on a bag. I wonder how well this technique would work on a anklet using less beads to make the beaded rope….
I’ve Never made a crochet rope yet. This looks Fantastic, I just Love the colors! 😍
Love the Cafe, always great ideas and I have learned a number of new and unique ideas. This combines two of my favorite things; crochet and beading….anxious to make this!
Learning bead rope crochet is one of my craft bucket list projects. I absolutely love the results! I have printed the Queen Bee instructions and I will watch you “how to” video! I so want it to turn out a positive experience!
I am so excited about this project. I have just finished my first Kumihimo necklace and very excited to learn how to complete a crochet rope bracelet.
I don’t really have any ideas as I’ve never done it before, but I’m very interested in trying. It’s one of the techniques that has been on my list for awhile, but it seemed so intimidating! After watching the video, I have to say I feel more confident about trying it!
I haven’t made this pattern before but I’d love to give it a try! So excited by your giveaway contest! Thank you for offering these.
I would love to learn how to make bead crochet earrings.
Aloha Friends! I am just now getting into beading, wire wrap, & bead crochet. I commend you all for the beautiful & imaginative designs you come up with! You are all so very inspiring!
Thanks for the giveaway! I’d love to try this!
I’ve always wanted to try this technique. I haven’t been able to figure it out in the past, but hopefully I would have better luck with the step-by-step Artbeads tutorials! I love the colors of the citrus bracelet!
I have been wanting to do another kumihimo bracelet, this would be an exciting new idea to try. I love the bead colors and supplies in the giveaway! What fun! Thanks for the video!💜
I have done komihimo bracelates before and I enjoyed making them a lot. I have never tried to do this technique, I do know how to crochet so hopefully that would help me a little. I would love to win this giveaway, and be able to try this technique out! 💜
Oh I have been wanting to learn this for quite some time
Can you make patterns in the rope or does it always have to be a swirl? Thanks for the giveaway
Hi Sandi! You can make patterns in the rope, Katie made a flower and vine pattern in her Cottage Clematis bracelet, you can see the stringing pattern here: https://cms.artbeads.com/docs/default-source/tutorials/pdfs/abt-20190905-02-cottage-clematis-beaded-crochet-rope-flower-pattern-bracelet.pdf
