the best crochet explanations ever!
How anyone could "thumbs down" one of the clearest tutorials I've ever seen is beyond me.
I don't understand that either..smh bunch of haters
Giving me smiles. Lots of wannabees out there, not willing to do the work. Oh, well. We carry on in spite of them.
Some people just don't get it. Everyone learns differently - maybe this didn't explain anything to them at all. No reason to call them names.
Where can I find the winding card? I have only found the small floss cards.
card board and tp roll paper help make small cards or larger ones i shape mine like a little bone shape cut the end two sides have little slits wrap thread around n use end to help hold onto until you unwind
Another beading technique learned! What a great video. I have the privilege of having Beads East as my local bead store. Ann is just as nice in person as she sounds on the video. Beads East is an awesome store with so many beads and kits it would make your head spin. The classes with Barbara Ponticelli are outstanding and the staff is second to none. Everything I know about beading I learned at Beads East. Worth the trip from anywhere!
Wow, I agree with Doree... this is one of the best tutorial video I've ever seen. It's very clear and concise. can't wait to have a go! Thank you Ann for taking the time to show and share your craft.
Best tutorial video - ever! Thank you
The voice is pleasant and clear. The animations are superb. The explanation is crystal clear and easily understood, the camera is always in focus and the work is always centered in the frame. This is the best tutorial video I've ever seen on any subject and I do tatting, crocheting, knitting, applique bead work, loomed bead work, quilling, and Irish crochet. Thank you for this most excellent video.
Hello, how are you doing doree??
"You must obey!"
I absolutely love this video! It was clear, concise and slow; just perfect for me. Thanks a lot and please, keep producing videos with this quality.
This is the absolutely best and most comprehensive tubular bead crochet tutorial I have ever come across! I will feature and link back in a future blog post on The Beading Gem's Journal so my readers can come visit! Thanks for all the hard work creating it.
Beautifully demonstrated. Clear audio. Amazing work!
I will try it this winter.
Thank you
Thanks for this inspiring tutorial.
I have been knitting with beads and am now keen to try crocheting with them.
So pleased that you have given your source for the supplies to do the whole project.
Ann all I can say is you are brilliant your right!, I loved this video and cant wait to try this technique because of the clear and easy to follow directions this actually feels like something I can do. Thank you.
I'll never completely retire . . .
You have succeeded in demystifying the beaded rope for me! Thank you Ann!
Thank you Ann, best tutorial I've seen yet, I've been trying to get this technique straight for some time now, your video has hopefully shown me where I was going wrong. Thank you.
"and now that I am brilliant" - I LOVE THIS! Thank you Ann for your beautifully narrated video - I've spent my Sunday morning looking for a new crochet challenge, and your vid has me sold! I'm off to Spotlight :) :) :)
Managed to learn it in around an hour, thank you so much for the great tutorial, will be taking some pre strung thread on my holidays, great for keeping me entertained on the flight etc
Best tutorial I've ever seen. Very clear, pictures and animations are amazing. You can't mess up with Ann teaching you :)
Thank you so much for demystifying bead crochet. Now I feel confident to try. Excellent tutorial 😊
At LAST! I got it. Thanks so much. Been trying for years. Now I can do the beaded snakes that I've been planning for decades, lol
I am in awe at this magnificent tutorial. The amount of thought and production work which went into creating it is mind boggling. I greatly appreciate your generosity in sharing your knowledge and in taking the time and major effort to make this.
I recently purchased the materials needed to do bead crochet was just about to begin studying tutorials to learn how to do it. No need to seek any further. I can't imagine failing after seeing these clear instructions. Thank you very much, Ann.
Oh Ann, this video is awesome, I understood perfectly, even when English is not my first language... Thank you so much, I appreciate your teaching abilities..
Regards from Mexico City
Hi, how are you doing Elena??
After watching and re-watching your excellent video I believe I finally caught on to the magic of spiral crochet!’ Thank you for a clear and concise video😊
What a SPECTACULAR video!!! The animation is clear, and concise. I am a veteran crochet artist, but I do not know how to do this... yet! I am retired as well, and I love to crochet. This looks complicated but it is worth the time an effort to learn. Thank you for posting this.
My goodness, MetalGrannie, I am humbled. Thank you so much. I love doing these videos---I do the actual animation and production as well, so much fun! Again, my gratitude to you and to Beading Gem's Journal for the kind comments.
Possibly one of the best tutorials I have ever seen on here! Just as I was asking someone about earlier today, here I find this Great explanation 💖
Bravo! What a wonderful tutorial! You have out done yourself , thank you so much for sharing your craft, and technique . Superior to all I have viewed thus far. Thank you again
i can only say i have been a fan of Mrs. Benson work for quite some year my favorite book is called Bead work Basics. it was my first book i read at the library and since then i'm the proud owner of this book Ty Mrs. A.Benson it has been everything to me to have such a talented author in the bead world. I hope to continue to learn every day blessing
Oh WOW! I've been trying to figure this out and finally found this and it is SO clear! Thank you Ms. Benson! You not only made me laugh, I could finally see wihtout someone's fingers being in the way. Am sure I'll be watching this over many more times just like you said. Thank you so very very much!♥
I have been trying to do bead crocheting for weeks...this video was the most clear and helpful that I have found! Thank you so much for sharing your skills!
This is truly the best tutorial I've ever seen. It makes perfect sense; I love it! Thanks for this!!!
Hello, how are you doing April??
Okay this makes bead crochet look SUPER EASY. I don't do much bead work but I learned basic crochet at a very early age so this really looks so fun and easy for me. I want to try this and maybe even use this technique to make Christmas presents for my family. I love the narration and the animation, it makes it all so clear and easy, thank you for sharing this with us, it is really an amazing tutorial.
Thank you soooo much. I have been wanting to do this for years, but didn't have the time; work, raising a family, then grandkids. Very excited to get started.
"Muscle memory". I mastered bead tubes about five years ago, but now I"m all thumbs! Thanks for the video. It's a big help getting back into the groove.
Hello, how are you doing Carey??
I now have the confidence to try this art, you have shared a wonderful tutorial. Thank you.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I've been battling this craft all weekend with unclear pictures, tutorials and videos. This is the first video to make enough sense that i feel like I'm actually going to get this craft going! (and I love the sass)
Ann, I GOT IT!! You made it look so easy with this video. I love the looks of this type of jewelry and have tried in the past and failed. One time through your video and I have it. Now to head out to get some beads and threading fiber. I will be hitting up your site as well. Thank you, thank you. thank you!
Thank you very much, have been looking for great stocking fillers for Christmas and these are perfect. Thought they would be much harder to do but your demo is so clear I'm sure I'll be away in no time. Off to buy some beads now. What a wonderful way to crochet, just looks so professional.
A video that lives up to its comments. Excellent job Ann
Ann! Thank you so very, very much for making this tutorial for those of us who have struggled with bead crochet! I am so happy that I finally got it... I watched this video for 2 days, repeatedly trying to stitch along...Finally, I did it!!! Muscle memory!!! Thank you!!!
What a fab video! So clear and a lovely manner - I'm off to try this and feel confident I will nail it this time! Thank you!
i've tried this so many times with no success, but this tutorial is very good and i am going to try this again. thank you so much, i think the best is not have fingers in the way, having just the animated tutorial is the best!!
Hi ..I agreed with Carol ..
You have done very clearly of showing me or us this best teaching of understanding ..cause I am deaf and its closed captions too
Thank you !! I gonna keep watching u and learn best ways!! Hugs !!
Chrissy
What a brilliant and superbly clear tutorial! Thank you.
Oh my goodness, I have been trying to do this forever. Thank you so so much I finally got it.
Angela MSAvonRep16
me too!!!!!!
Fabulous, explanatory video. Thank you!
Thanks, Ann!
MetalGranni, I was thinking that too, after watching the video first time - here is a perfect Audio book narrator! I often listen to books while doing my crafts, and not all narrators are good.
Thank you so much Ann, I have struggled with this technique. I have followed your tutorial and am happy to say I have just made my first Crochet Rope. Anyone who has also struggled with this, this is a must watch...Good luck to all......happy beading.
I’m not sure how I ended up here, but I found myself mesmerized by her instructions. These are the most clear and precise instructions ever! I didn’t even want to knit beads but now I’m considering it.
Thank you, thank you, thank you...for a great tutorial, after the fifth time I managed to do it without mistakes, and in less than 6 hours I have my first beaded crochet braclet. Lots of love from Kosova.
thank you so much. for 3 years i have been trying to master this and i finally got it!
Ann, thanks to you I have understood what i have to do and not do to be successful in bead crochet. thank you so much for sharing and explaining every step in such a good way ! Thanx, thanx, thanx...
I so agree with Metalgrannie...you have the most amazing, fascinating voice, you ought to be in commercials..I would never mute them..love your work
This is the best tutorial I've ever seen THANK YOU SO MUCH. now I will give it a try.
I have tried to bead crochet so many times...and then I gave up. But when I saw this video I decided to try one more time. I had to take it out 2 times but on my third try I realized when you go into the whole where the first bead is that you have to push it over the crochet hook and place the new bead between the 2 loops on the hook and then crochet over...and then ......it worked...and after 10 minutes I had a spiral rope!!!
Thanks so much!!
Omg, I just discovered bead crochet (April 2021) and I'm mesmerized!! It came to me in the form of a mindless search on Etsy where I found a scotch plaid crocheted necklace...stunning!! Alot of this stuff seems to come out of eastern Europe. I contacted the seller, who told me not to bother getting the pattern until I have watched a few You Tube videos, practiced & become a bit proficient in the art. Must say, I was surprised that she didn't jump right on a sale! So I followed her suggestion and found YOU. This is the single best instructional video that I've seen on You Tube. After watching twice...I can absolutely do this!! And then, I found your website & store on Etsy. I already do kumihimo, so tubular jewelry is not unfamiliar, however limited in pattern. I don't know if I should thank you...I don't need another obsession :-) lol
This is so generous of you, great tutorial!!
Thank you so much for sharing and definitely being the bestest teacher I've found also. 💗
Beautiful gals try to teach....but are not English. Well learnt English but they must be new in teaching. As they talk so fast i I couldn't follow. Grateful for ALL the time everyone spent on teaching though.
I love your spirit and giggles too. ❤😂🎉
Thank you for detailed animations. It makes me very helpful for crocheting.
Brilliant tutorial, absolutely love your humor. Thanks so much....I have half finished loading beads for a very long necklace.
I have never done this myself, but I will like to try. And really, I am so amazed how brilliantly and carefully tutorial you have made! Thank you!
I was looking for a creative way to incorporate beading and crocheting to make unique bracelets. Luckily for me, I found your video, and it is an EXCELLENT tutorial for beginners. I am inspired to start my first project. Thank you for a thorough tutorial on the subject.
Thank you Ann. I love how you took on a different approach to teach this method. I tried for 2 days in a row with other tutorials and sadly no luck. The graphics were great. I just chant ,"in, over, down, under, and through ". Next thing you know, my spiral began to form like a perfect twister! God bless you.
Excellent tutorial. I've done spiral crochet before, and this is a wonderful refresher coarse, but if you've never tried spiral crochet, it's also easy to follow for first timers. Thank you so much for sharing.
You make it look so easy. Have not got it down yet but will keep trying. Love your videos!
wow, great tutorial love the animation! thorough work, very very helpful, i am a total and utter beginner never crochet a day in my life but i was able to follow this very easily and make a beautiful beaded rope thank you +Ann Benson
wow i could never crochet before but now I have it.Thank you so much for your knowledge.
You made it so easy to learn.Sorry to hear your retiring.
.
Hi. Thank you so much for the tutorial so very beautifully explained. Tis is one of the best tutorial i have come across. God bless you.
Great tutorial! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!
Yes, Now I got it, made a bracelet with this stitch (colours a, b , c) and now I am going to try 11/0. Thanks it was so clear to understand. You are great.
Fabulous! I don’t understand the technology used to make this, but it’s brilliant. Despite my decades of crocheting, I couldn’t get it. Now I can! Thank you!
Thank you for the wonderful tutorials you upload! So easy to follow as audio and video as well, really thankful!
Best crochet tutorial I have ever seen and I have seen a lot!
Thank you! 😊
Thank you so much! I have watched several and ripped out every one....I now have a bracelet it the works thanks to your video. Kudos!
Best tutorial I've seen on this particular subject. JUST THE BEST!
Hello, how are you doing Paulette??
thank you for such a crystal clear tutorial. now I finally feel like trying this!
I would like to echo the previous comment. I am just starting to make video animations and I can see that a lot of work and thought went into this video. It is a gem. Chapeau!
Thanks for sharing. Now it makes sense on what I was doing wrong. So glad I found you. Keep them coming.
Thank you for this excellent tutorial! Jumping right into a bead crochet bracelet kit with 11/0 Delicas & #30 perle cotton wasn't working well, but I quickly got the hang of it while practicing with 6/0 beads on #10 cotton and made a nice 1.5in beaded tube bead. Feeling ready to tackle that kit again now :-)
Thank you so much Ms.bead guru. I got it and I am off to the races with this new stitch.
Thank you!! The animation is very well done and everything is clear!!!
I'm just learning, this tutorial is awesome. Thank you very much for creating this. I'm going to use this video as reference a lot in the next few projects.
Thank you, instructions are well done. The simulations make understanding easy.
Thank you for this amazing tutorial! My mother-in-law tried to teach me, and I've watched many tutorials but yours is by far the most effective! And I've finally got the hang of it :)
Hello, how are you doing Marie??
Thank you. I don't have volume, but needed a refresher course. The pictures were very helpful.
Absolutely the best instructional graphic I have ever seen. Thanks!
Hello, how are you doing susan??
Thank you very much for teaching your crochet bead work
I've always wanted to learn how to do this, but it looked so daunting. I know how to crochet and this video made bead crocheting look so simple. I've got to get some beads and thread and try it out. Thank you soooo much for sharing!
Appreciate the efforts in video. Thank you for the Animation 👍
For 8o seed beads there are abut eleven rounds per inch. For 11o seed beads there are about fifteen (fourteen if your tension is loose) rounds per inch. Multiply the number rounds needed by the number of beads in each round by the number of inches desired, and VOILA! string on that many beads (roughly)
Ann Benson woooow
Thank you 🙏 I so if I crochet with bigger beads I will count the rounds per inch or cm!!!! Thank you
Thanks for sharing!
I've browsed through several tutorials on bead crocheting. And have crocheted 1 bracelet ( my first project), a couple of earrings and two necklaces. Either you love this technique, or hate it. It took me about 2 days to learn it. Ones you get used to this technique, you will get hooked on it.
Thankyou Ann I have been trying to learn how to do this for a long time and now I actually can. This is a.great tutorial
Que hermosa voz tiene ,la paciencia para explicar,y la claridad en todo GRACIAS 🙂💕
How can the best tutorial in the world have around 200 Thumps down?? What happend?? These are so far the best Videos ever... thank you so much!!
Thank you for the video. I learn to crochet and play video all the time, because you have such soothing and inspirational voice and so I stay calm even if I make mistakes. I am determined to learn this!! thanks again, with love :-)

Hi Ann. Thank you so much for your tutorials. I could have done the beaded crochet without your help.
Outstanding tutorial. Thank you. I purchased snake head clasps to use with crochet bead rope so am determined to do well. Yours is the best.
