i've never really made a beaded bracelet like this

i've knitted them SURE but i've never stitched then. i do so like the way freeform peyote looks so i decided to give it a try. here's the beginning of a bracelet i'm making. i am having trouble with the thread (i think i used the wrong kind) and keeping the beads tight. well, this is a learning process of course. the first one of a kind i make cannot be perfect...

if i get farther, i'll post pictures. 

it's fun and we'll see how far along i get with this.
