Double Spiral Stitch

Lately, I've been in a spiral kinda mood.  I've played with Russian Spiral, Cellini Spiral, Chenille Stitch spiral and the Netted Spiral...I've even done a triple spiral.  Last month, I challeged the members of the Austin Bead Society to work the Double Spiral Stitch....what did I get myself into?  Although I like the end result of the stitch, I'm not a great fan of it. 

Why?  Good question and you'll find it funny...It takes too long! Plus, I can't tell you the number of times I've poked my fingers with the needle (there's a little bit of me in each spiral bracelet that I do)

Despite all of that, I do love the end product.  Take a look at the double and triple spiral ropes that I've done.


Try it for yourself and let me know what you think!

Happy Beading!
