Welcome back Onose. Wish you the best of health.

Thebeadslady: No ma,it did'nt work out,this is the way i finally did it.
step1) 1 crystal,clasp,1 crystal,then i crossed with one sand bead,
step2)1 Crystal on both sides,then i crossed with a crystal.)
step3)1 crystal on both sides and cross with a sand bead.i followed the pattern till i reach my desired length. then:
step4)i stringed 5 seed beads,1 crystal,5 seed beads then i passed my thread 2ru d crystal i had used to cross in d previous step. i repeated step 5 till i reached the end,then i did the same thing for the other side.
Note:- this is for the top alone
Then i moved on to the netting part.

This is the way I read the pattern too + string another set of seed beads to run from the one big bead to the other on both sides. like this

ibiboss: I don't know if I can teach o cos I av always bn shuned in dis group

I don't think this statement is being fair to this group. I remember the three instances that you may feel you have been shunned are when you asked about the filled netting, which has been taken previously and the question on who is to take the fishbone, which you yourself should get by referring to the schedule by madam toynex a few pages back. I wanted to reply when I saw that question for example but, my baby did not allow me type at that time. I know mummy yemtop took her time to explain the beaded ball on the other thread to you. So in all cases, I don't see any case of being genuinely shunned. Just my view though.

Hello every one. Are pseudo professionals allowed too? I promise not to ask silly questions.

bimsusy: I used size 2

Thanks. Is that 2mm (11/0)?

outstandingjk: Ur thought is right, I also saw a look alike and they wrote wooolknittingloom on that. It's how to use it nowthat we r wwondering. U've been MIA Omostar. Welcome bk

Thanks @outstanding for checking out on me. I have actually been very much around. I always check but have a faulty camera and can't upload my works.

I haven't used a loom before. But I am sure anyone who has used a conventional loom before should be able to use this.

outstandingjk: I downloaded this.

I think it is a portable knitting loom.

onose01: Dis is d little I cld make. I don't hv pipe bead 4 now. So I used pearl bead and medium seed bead. This is what I came up with.

Congratulations @ the preg. news. Wish you a safe delivery [color=#000099][/color]
Resting alot help with the first trimester blues. If you have nausea, try to keep well hydrated throughout the day. It helps alot.
I love what you came up with. The colors blend perfectly.

WOW. Glad this thread is back. I had a computer failure myself. Hope everyone is doing great. Ramadhan mubaraak to all the Muslims in the house.

I must confess, I really appreciate your patience in answering all those questions.
May God continue to strengthen you.

I accidentally came across this forum yesterday and decided to just go through some topics that I saw on Islam. I have now learned from you not to respond to people like Frisbell who is intentional trying not to understand whatever that is against her own believes.

Why do christians denounce the teachings in the old testament. Were they not inspired by the same God?

@ nezan

I am actually new on this forum and seeing this topic for the first time. Well i can see that you have been trying to make issues about of the prophet Muhammad's marriage to Aisha. I think before you consider that as pedophile, you need to find out what was the ideal at the time of the prophet. Of course you do know that the prophet did not live in our time. Form my own lazy research, this is what i saw on Wikipedia concerning age of marriage in ancient times.

"In Arab and Altiac societies arranged marriages were and are common. Children are often married to create a period for the spouses to know each other before consummating marriage'

This is the link and you can read more on it and go through the references
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_marriage.

Again i have read a report on the likely hood of error in the reported age of Aisha at that time. This is because her age at marriage does not correlate with her age at death and other times in history.
My point is this, I do not think that you have any point in raising up such issues like this unless you have evidence that what the prophet did at that time was frowned at by the people at that time.
I have been trying to understand the two religions and i can see that most Christians and other non muslims basically use this point and other issues relating to Muhammad's personal life to attack the religion. I do not think this is right. You should only do that if those things were wrong during his time. The way we live is constantly changing and values and traditions are constantly redefined.
