The spiral stitch is my favorite one for beading. I love embellishing the stitch as well. I've posted two necklaces with flower pendants and one sampler. The sampler comes from components from a drawer I just throw all unfinished or sample pieces in. I combined a lot of those pieces into this sampler. It's actually a little too much to wear, but it was fun to put together all those bits and pieces and create something.

Well I love your combined necklace.
It's fun and playful.
I like this stitch also. It's one of the first I learned and I still do it a lot and have taught it to more people than I can count.

I'm not sure I know this stitch. What books can it be found in? I like your combined necklace too. I think it's got a little wackiness to it but not too much. It would be fun to wear.

The spiral stitch can be found in Carol Wilcox Well's book, and there are probably a lot of tutorials on it for free on the internet. It's a fun stitch, like Sunni says, works up quickly, and has lots of variations. If you don't find it, let me know and i'll get you more resources.

I found the book it's in. I didn't realize that was what I was seeing. I'll have to try the stitch out soon. Thankyou. And I hope you won't mind but have fun with being TAGGED for a meme that Sue in West WA tagged me for. It's different than some I've seen and I thought someone who can join sample pieces together into a cohesive whole and remember her Campfire Days might have fun with it.
