Each month we
are covering a different stitch, you can either, make something in the stitch
or post something you have made in the stitch.. It can be tubular or flat. At
the end of the month we will be putting together a collection of the pictures
of netting created by the Guild members.
We have several
members who are very creative using netting. Sage’s Cupboard was gracias
in allowing me to use her blog write-up on netting. I have also included some links and video to help you master the netting stitch.

Flat
netting is one of my favorite beading techniques. It’s fun and easy, and totally
versatile, although not in quite the same way as other flat stitches. Netting
can only be stitched and used in so many ways, but the combinations of bead
types and quantities create endless possibilities.
Netting is an expanded variation of peyote stitch. Instead of picking up just one bead at a time, you add several, but the rows are connected by a single bead or group within each addition. These shared beads, or anchor beads, are what hold even the biggest bead nets together.
One other difference between netting and peyote is the requirement of turns at the end of each row. With peyote, you start a new row simply by flipping the work and adding the next bead. With basic netting, you must add a stitch that will redirect your thread, such as a picot or loop, which differs slightly from the main beadwork.
