Fuzzy knots

[Pearl Dreams]

I watched just enough to see how she makes the knot , which is different from my method, but I can't see any reason why that should cause thread to fray. I suspect it's just that bracelets undergo more stress than necklaces.

I think so too. And if I wear it everyday, even more so. I would have to restring every 6 to 12 months. I also thought as gross as it sounds with necklaces you would sweat around more, especially in an Australian summer, and that may sort of lubricate the serafil. Necklace I find it's more with movement of pearls in between the knots, and that's when I have to restring, or when the cord looks dirty.

Can I get other people's opinion as well? Do you do a straight over hand knot with all the threads or do you pull them apart and knot that way?
