Found myself unable to get up. Knitted an entire beaded row. <br /><br />It works extremely well--that is, after I figured out how to get the protector off the tip. To any other neophytes, might be a good idea to practice taking the protector tip on and off a time or two before charging up the shaft with beads. Also a good idea to make sure the keeper is past the bend in the wire. If you don't have it past the bend, and you pull on the protector tip really hard, beads tend to fly.<br /><br />I would love to see a video of you using one. Would help me perfect my technique. Although, I must say, it's pretty intuitive and it works really well. I do have a curiosity about what a bead spinner is and how you get the beads on the shaft.<br /><br />Thanks for such a brilliant tool.PenCrafthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02562940651426257061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4463307798012270911.post-90529294021855048372012-07-15T20:14:57.622-05:002012-07-15T20:14:57.622-05:00I might accept one, on the basis that I actually n...I might accept one, on the basis that I actually named it. :)<br /><br />No, really that's okay.
