I love your bracelet, enough to attempt one similarly designed,as my first try. I had a problem of course, so I did a strip pattern with the beads, the straight lines in the pattern highlighted my pathways. It’s turned into a great piece and my confidence level has grown. Thank You for the inspiration, I love this technique.
What would happen if you just did a long piece of this design then zipped it up on the diagonal?Would that create the same as peyote with a twist design?When doing peyote after it's zipped up in effect are you only peyoting one side of the tube?
I found your videos. Yes it a nice bracelet. Great job. Have you made a ring to go with it. I may try a ring size with your design, I’m new and a need a simple design. Thanks Great job 👍🏼
You tend to move out of camera range every time you make a step that is important, can you demonstrate the zip in camera range, please. Great technique just wish I could see it
Sandra Boyer sorry it wasn't helpful. I'm not a pro when it comes to making videos which is why I talk a lot when recording. It takes about 3 hours to upload a video and totally sucks up my data. Unfortunately I have no plans to redo this video but try listening to my instructions and if you still have questions I would be happy to try and help you.
I love your bead mix and found and ordered them but I am also looking for a blue mix. Do you know where I might find them. I saw a similar necklace to this one in blue mix. Thanks for a great video.
Your Bracelet is Beautiful... I Love the Technique and Your Color Combination.... Would You Please tell me where and the SIZE of the Magnets you used on the End Caps ??? I love this.. Thanks Judy
I purchased the magnets at Phill's Hobby Shop which is a local store in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The ones I used were square cubes. Disks would have been better but I used what I had on hand. I would suggest looking on Amazon. As long as they are small enough to fit in the opening you should be ok. I also used a little bit of e6000 to help secure them. Make sure they are high powered! I hope this helps.
Hi Gena...love the videos...thanks so much for doing all 3 tutorials on this. I am about half done with my length and it is coming out beautifully but I am noticing that my twist is not as loose as yours appears in your finished bracelet. I keep checking to make sure that I have 4 rows of the mix and 4 rows of the solid as well as the 2 rows of the metallic and everything is good but the “slow “ twist isn’t there. Any ideas on what could be going “wrong”? Any tips ? Thanks !!
@@genahopkins3242 Hmmmm....if you mean did I take the needle from right to left when I picked up a metallic and went into that middle metallic at the start of the zip, then yes... I made sure to keep my orientation the same as the video. I love it nonetheless and will definitely be making a few more for myself and for gifts this year !!
Thank-you for sharing this technique; very clear demonstration! Will you be using this on other patterns? How do you determine how long the piece is before zipping it up and at what point you do the join?
Meri McPherson I'm sure I will try it with other patterns at some point. The place where you join stays the same as if you were joining at the corners. The length is what ever you decide. There have been several headers discussing doing the entire pattern before zipping. I will be interested to see what others come up with as PWAT is still in its infancy.
This is absolutely my favorite stitch to do now! I have always loved to peyote but for the life of me, I couldn't get the bead crochet thing down. Now, I can create those beautiful crochet ropes using peytwist. Many thanks for your tutorial. Now to find some peytwist patterns!
Have watched the videos many times. Witch one explains what to do when u have reached the top of the white beads. Now my silver is at the top. I a, sorry to bother you, but I love the bracelet and hope I can figure it out.
Hi, I love your pattern and video, just finished the bracelet but the twist doesn't look like yours, it doesn't make one long twist along the whole length but twists twice from one end to the other making it look more common. Do you think it could be a difference in size between your beeds and mine ? Thank you.
@@genahopkins3242 I tried "untwisting" it but no change.I think I will try maybe to zip start it differently or change the start rectangle somehow. It's still a nice pattern, just missing the uncommon factor that yours has ! Thank you for replying, and sharing your tutorial. :)
Wow, finished the bracelet and it looks great. However, I can't seem to duplicate your end cap. I tried but came out with some pointed thingey that just made it too big. How did you fashion that flat topped cap, please? I've scoured other videos but can't find a tutorial for an end cap like yours. Thanks!
Mary Cheney I have considered doing a tutorial on how to make end caps. If you follow my channel and sign up for alerts you be notified when I post new videos.
Hi Gena, thank you for your videos, I would love to do that pattern. Have tried for hours. Can’t figure out how you get your working thread on the opposite side of your starting one, with 11raws of peyote. I’m hoping once I get that right, I’ll be able to zip it correctly. Where am I going wrong ???☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️, thank you, Ofra
ofra kaplan. I'm glad you like the pattern. Please ignore the tail thread. I worked this from center out and then played with the rows. Time permitting, I plan on paying a video on the peyote start this weekend so stay tuned to my channel.
Gena Hopkins I absolutely love this peytwist technique, it is absolutely addicting! I appreciate your video as I was having a little issue with continuing with my peyote after the first zip. I had watched a vid that a different person posted a couple weeks back and where I didn't quite follow him after the zip I was able to watch your vid and voila! I nailed it. So between the two tutorials I am twisting away with confidence! I am excited to start an actual pattern today. Thank u so much!
Hi Gena . I am very new to this Peytwist .Thank you for the demonstration .I do have a question though.I understand the way you zip it together and after start the peyote on the white BUt on the colored beads I dont see the peyote on them. how do you continue ?
I would recommend going to the Facebook group Peyote with a twist- not crochet and joining the group. In the files section within the group are detailed instructions on how to do PWAT. Gerline Lentz is the originator of this technique and she is the administrator for the group. BEWARE!!! PWAT is very addictive once you learn how to do it! Good luck.
Thank you Gena ,I already made a rope and posted in the group. I just dont understand on your demonstration how to do the peyote after it zipped and did peyote on the white and going towards the colored beads
I cannot do peyote at all. I’ve tried so many times and the first two rows just keep ending up like a straight stitch. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong
They will be in a straight line until you do the third row. So, rows 1 & 2 are simply strung. Here's a link to step by step instructions. Step #4 is showing you the THIRD row. I hope this will help you: www.fusionbeads.com/flat-even-count-peyote-stitch
I ordered the white and multi beads from Bead Haven. The brand on the website says Matsuno. Don't know about the silver ones, maybe Myuki Duracoat Galvanized Silver 11-4201? :-{. Oh, if you order from Bead Haven, the website always says Out Of Stock but if you call, they will take your order over the phone.
If you subscribe to my channel you will be able to find all 3 videos related to the zip connection. Video #3 is the flat peyote start piece. Originally I did not intend to do the start but after receiving several requests I decided to add it.
