Herringbone Stitch Questions

I taught myself herringbone stitch, and I've made a neat little tube,
just as a sample. I like the courderoy effect of the ribbing.

However, all I can make is tubes. I can't figure out how to work it
flat (if it can be). How do you make the turn around at the end?

The tubes would make nice necklaces (!), but how would you suggest
finishing off the ends so that I can attach clasps?

Where are the instructions for herringbone hiding?

Arondelle - I am still in the process of proofing these, but have a look
anyhow.

They're great, Beki. :-)

Does herringbone lend itself to shaping, or does increasing/decreasing
make it look funky?

No, you can do that with it....it makes some great flowers. And Carole Horn
makes a really neat dragonfly with it.
Here are some links to some Herringbone pieces on the net that are pretty cool:

jewelry link, it may open a new window in *back* of your current browser...very
odd, but her 2nd, 3rd and 4th pieces in that gallery are great examples of
sculpted Herringbone)

OK...hopefully that will inspire you Arondelle! =o)

I'm just crazy for Wendy's "Seaforms"! I used to do that sort of thing
in macrame, but they're spectacular in beads!

Oh, that is wonderful! I had been wondering how to make tubular
herringbone twisted. Your instructions and diagrams are very clear
and easy to understand. Many thanks for putting your time into these
instructions!

Hi Scaperchick -
A recent conversation has also brought out some additional information on
making this stitch twist.
On step 10 in the instructions, if you pass down through two beads, and then up
through 1, and then your step up, your twist should be more pronounced.

Can you diagram that? I tried the instructions as written, and my tube
curves, but doesn't twist.
