Tillie, Your tigres are awesome, especially when you said they were your first beads in a year! Holy smokes girl.

The twisties are a bit tricky at first, but if it's easier for you, you can use two punties and pull and twist with both hands. Some people find that method works better for them. As long as the construction of the gather is done properly, the method of twisting really doesn't matter.

Thanks everyone for your kind comments about the tutorial, and also about the beads you won. I took a bunch of hearts to the Gathering and traded a bunch on trade night. What fun!
