    This is a really fun stitch to do and not that hard once you get past the first couple of "loops." And I really like the spiral effect. I'm glad you've put instructions here, especially with photos, because I don't make this often and sometimes when I do I have to refresh my memory about how to start it. Now I know where to go!

    There's lots here to check out - I've bookmarked this lens. Thanks for writing it!

    That is a very interesting lens. I used to make jewellery when I was at schoolo, selling them to friends. I earned a few money just for buing the material I needed for making the jewellery. What I enjoyed most, was the creation of nice objects that made me feel really good!
    P.S. I would appreciate it, if you could have a look at my lenses and like any of them or leave any comment that would help me became a good lens maker!

    Wow!! Thanx for all the great info. I am a disabled veteran trying to get a small home-based jewelry-making business started. I have spent nearly two years trying to get the veterans VocRehab dept to help me.=, to no avail. :(

    You've got some beautiful pieces here. The one in your intro module is especially nice.

    Thanks for the free patterns, that is so generous of you. I have sent your link to all my contacts. (twitter, facebook etc)

    I have been building a squidoo lens, this is the first time I have done one. I found it rather exhausting since I didn't know what I was doing. But the result is amazing. Anyway since you are such an expert, I was wondering if you would give me some feedback on it. Thanks.

    Absolutely - I'd love to see your lens! Yes, the first few lenses are a lot of work, but you'll get a rhythm going and it will get easier. Squidoo is fun!
