Beautiful bracelet-love the green/gold colorway you used in the video. I see Eureka is featuring your Criss-Cross Candy video on their site--I find that to be so exciting!! Thanks, Gina, for sharing this beauty with us.

[@melanieholowachuk5880]

Love these you have been busy! I have lots of candy beads and diamond duos 😁

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

Thank you, Melanie! You'll have to let me know if you try it! :)

[@StitchesbySharonH]

Ahhhhh, I’m thinking back to the email I sent you about using two needles versus one. This totally makes sense to use two needles - I get it now!!! I think I was questioning using two needles for right angle weave... This is very clever and makes a pretty design! Thank you for sharing! 💜

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

Thank you, Sharon! I'm so glad it is starting to make more sense! :)

[@megangilder6630]

You're the best! Thank you, Andrea, my cheerleader! 😁💜

[@ritataylor1266]

Hello, this is a very beautiful bracelet. I've followed the tutorial but have noticed that the 3mm faceted beads don't fit between the diamond duo's. I've tried different variations but my bracelet tends to buckle. Any suggestions on how to keep it from buckling? By chance are the candy beads you're using 12mm instead of 8mm? Please advise. Thank you for your time.

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

Hi Rita! I am sorry to hear that! I did double-check all of the sizing, and those are the correct materials. I am wondering if you are using gemduos or diamonduos? The diamonduos may be slightly larger and would prevent the buckling? Curious to hear if that happens to make a difference.

[@ritataylor1266]

@@ORCHIDandOPAL I was using the Gemduo's. I have a few diamond duo's and will give them a shot. Thank you for your reply. I love watching your videos.
