Then I was hooked and doing it like mad! I tried doubling the beads, turning corners, making points, and soon had a beadmat full of these little trial pieces of CRAW! Your info on this post is a wonderful addition to Heather's info - many thanks!!

I have found that there are two separate and distinct thread path methods that people use with this stitch- and it sounds like you have been using the one I always used, which is a very pure form of RAW to do the cubic rope. I believe that Heather's thread path is actually an easier path to follow - but it isn't the pure RAW that I had learned to begin with, it's a bit more like circle stitch, but you end up with the same cube. So, you may just be finding a new thread path for something you and I have been doing differently for awhile, lol!!!NEDbeadshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14112578445978978385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1094887434787326651.post-90114789416023497132011-10-31T21:50:43.817-04:002011-10-31T21:50:43.817-04:00It does help!

What I was missing was when you first create the 2*15+11+2*15 stitch, to create the next one I think I was going through the newest 2*15 side RATHER than going thru the next base bead. So then I was adding an 11+2*15 but since you went thru the base, then you added the 2*15+11. I think I gotta go back to Heather's video. I've done a CRAW piece before, but maybe I did it wrong. Nothing like getting a fundamental stitch wrong!

I appreciate all of the feedback and I'm happy to share!!<br /><br />@kmemho - Yes, you're right, it's supposed to say two 15s rather than two 11s, thank you for pointing that out! As far as how that one stitch goes: You start by picking up 2 size 15s, one 11, and 2 more size 15s - go back through your base bead and the next base bead. Now you will pick up two 15s and one 11, and go back through the last two 'side' 15s and your base bead and through the next base bead. Now you'll repeat that and all two 15s and one 11, and go through the previous stitch's 'side' 15s and through your base bead and then up through the side beads from your very first stitch in this unit. In the closing stitch, you only pick up the 11, and go through the previous stitch's side beads, the base bead, the first stitch's side beads, and through the bead added in this stitch. Then you go ahead and close up that unit before starting the next. I hope this helps. :)NEDbeadshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14112578445978978385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1094887434787326651.post-75535083050715128632011-10-31T15:59:44.355-04:002011-10-31T15:59:44.355-04:00I am sooo happy I found you and your work!

I'...Nancy, I'm wondering if you can clarify? I've gone over this with a fine tooth comb trying to envision all of it before I start. In your "unit" section on the second page - should the second step be: "Then I add an 11 and 2 15s, then 2 15s and one 11, then finish the cube with one 11." - it's confusing when you have to think out each step with the direction of the thread in mind. The other question I had was in the third sentence... isn't it "two size 15 beads as each side bead" rather than two size 11 beads as side beads? I LOVE your tutorial and I can't wait to apply this to my bead soup!kmemhohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18227041682639588917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1094887434787326651.post-59798320978970075992011-10-28T23:02:43.660-04:002011-10-28T23:02:43.660-04:00Fabulous post, Nancy!

Dumping all those carefully organized and labeled beads into a soup is really scary to me. There's no going back once I do that. Do you usually stick w/ two or three colors (like the current one you're doing) or are more okay? Any hints for picking colors. Color is my thing but I'm just having a really hard time with it here. ARG!! I'm probably overthinking this (it's been known to happen!). I'd love to hear what you think!
