Thanks PixieMoon.

I bought them secondhand from a posting in the other forum (I'm not sure what I can and can't say about it) but they were originally from Wen.

Thanks for sharing the pictures of the lovely keshi, and I can't wait to see your finished project.

Beautiful Tahitians. I hope your son's appointment went well and he has a full and speedy recovery.

Wow. The wssp are amazing.

Gorgeous pearls kalmen22. You'll come up with something amazing for the pistachio.

Pattye, Jersey Pearl, Pearl Dreams, Kalman 22, Katbran, Ladonna Rama, Pareltje, and Cicadalady, thanks for all of your kind words. I'm about the least artsy-craftsy person in the world, (walking into a Michael's or other craft store makes me twitch) so this felt like a big leap. The Beaders...

Thank you BWeaves, battah, and lilliefuzzysocks! I keep going back and forth between wanting to rip it apart and try again (I know I can make those knots tighter!) and not wanting to take it off. I guess I'll just have to buy more pearls instead.

What a gorgeous strand! I'm a total newbie myself, and the sense of accomplishment from finishing a necklace was beyond what I expected. Plus, you'll have beautiful new pearls to wear.

After a long time lurking I finally decided to 1) try knotting my own necklace; and 2) post about it! Thank you to Pattye for the beader's secret, and thanks to all of you for the tutorials, instructions, and general encouragement.

They are gorgeous!

I bought a strand of peacock baroques from the first release, and now have a strand of greens headed my way. We'll have to see how they compare in person.
