Bead weaving always seemed a bit out of my league — too complicated, beads too small, I don’t have the patience…. the list goes on.

The simple rhythm of the stitches is hypnotic and it truly does bring a sense of calm and relaxation (unless the cat decides to grab the skein of yarn and run around the house).
