New!  We've just added the palette for Deborah Norville Everyday Yarn!  If you knit and/or crochet, this is for you.  This is a beautiful yarn with a nice feel to it, a good alternative in worsted weight acrylic!  (Thank you again to BetwixtTheStitch!)

Coralzero,
Welcome! Smile
I'm so excited for you starting again with your beadweaving! Bonus that your grandmother taught you...what a lovely thing she did. Kiss
While you're definitely not a beginner, I strongly suggest the book I learned from: Creative Bead Weaving by Carol Wilcox Wells, because I found the illustrations were so clear and detailed. At that time I'd tried other books and felt they didn't have the nuances Creative Bead Weaving had. There may be other books since then, so I'm not saying this one is definitely the answer, but it's a very good, handy reference - and I still use it for information about various stitches, not just peyote.
Wells published a newer book beyond Creative Bead Weaving, The Art & Elegance of Beadweaving, which includes even more stitches, still with all of the clear references that were included in Creative Bead Weaving. LOL, okay, I'm more than a bit of a fan. Wink
Also, there are some wonderful choices of bead thread. I much prefer fishing line, such as Fireline Crystal. While the colors are limited, with most bead colors the Fireline Crystal tends to blend right in, and it doesn't tend to break or get ragged like Nymo does. (Bonus, you can get it from any sporting good store and even Walmart sells it!) As for thread conditioner, that's kind of dicey; if you're okay with beeswax, that should suffice. There's a synthetic now on the market, Thread Magic, but it's really expensive. So the conditioner is a difficult proposition these days. 
I wish you best of luck with your project and do feel free to post photos of your progress so we can drool! Wink


✨Beautiful work of art!✨

Suzieq,

Welcome! Smile

The option definitely hasn't been removed. What do you show as your options in the pulldown for #7 where it says: "Pattern or Word Chart:"? It should say:

Tabitha,

You're very welcome!  Smile

Sherry,

Ooh, thanks...sage advice!  Kiss  I always struggle with the math for things like circles, but this makes it nice and simple!  Kiss  Hoping this helps bitgirl196264, the OP, as well!
