After a few test runs, I was able to make the slip knot without watching the video. THe picture shows the sequence of my attempts from top to bottom. I started in with an attempt at crocheting the beads but I was struggling with the tension on the yarn so I tried a simple chain stitch without the beads to get the hang of it. This was much easier but a bit sloppy. My second try was much more uniform. After that success I went back to the beads. After watching the video again I realized I was adding the beads wrong. I was trying to pull the yarn through the beads when I should have been crocheting around the bead. Threading the beads on the working part of the yarn allowed me to do this properly. | Practice order |

Your post makes me want to look more into crocheting. I am lost on the idea of crocheting around the bead or simply threading it. Looking forward to learning more!
