I know it's been a minute since I've posted in my blog, but I haven't been idle at all. I belong to several beading groups on Facebook and some of them have challenges (monthly) that I participate in. I've decided to share those with you.
Bead Club - Monthly Challenge, is one such group. It's a closed group so you'll have to request to join. Any way, this month's challenge was to learn a new stitch and the winning stitch was the Oglala Stitch. I know...try saying that 10x fast why don'tcha...
The Oglala stitch (aka the Oglala Butterfly Weave) is a Native American Stitch named for the Oglala Lakota or Oglala Sioux tribe (click on the link to see what Wikipedia has to say about the history). It is a variation of netting that tend to work up very quickly.
While I tend to get along with most of the stitches I've encountered in my path, for some reason, this one I didn't enjoy. It wasn't difficult or hard to comprehend, I just could get "into" it. It took me at least a week to get my necklace done...of course my project didn't start out as a bracelet, but...take a look... Not sure that I'll do another one, but who knows...the point of being in a challenge group is to challenge ones self otherwise, what's the point?
Next month's challenge is yet to be determined...stay tuned!!!
Happy Beading!
