    Dolly - Define simple. Are you knotting your silk between the beads
    or "simply" stringing them onto the silk which can result in beads
    sliding (and grabbing hair) particularly if the silk stretches? Also
    - how small are your beads. As a general rule, I knot between each
    bead from about 5 mm on up. With smaller beads, you can gang then up
    in little consistent groups. If they're really teeny, you just don't
    knot - or, rather. you would position knots against stratgically
    placed spacers or detail beads, if any, for stability. Tiny seed
    beeds, heishi, or liquid silver you don't knot, period, and they will
    tend to grab and pinch - it's just in their job description.   (Hmmm
    - 2 questions about stringing on silk in one night <g>).
