Thanks! I'm doing as you say, treating it like a precious little delicate thing...careful with the cutting, careful with the sliding....singing Amazing Grace while working with it and EVERYTHING!
Your theory about the end of the strand twisting is interesting. I'm going to redo this strand and pay special attention to that aspect.
Also, has anyone tried the gimp from Fire Mountain that is listed as fancy spiral and zigzag? I'm wondering if it would do better than the plain straight curls. Of course, it isn't in vermiel...only GP and SP.
Knotty...do you think Jeremy is using vermiel on his hanadamas? It still is so weird to not be using all 14 karat!
