I have played with Inkscape and find it is easier than Illustrator in some respects. (definitely cheaper! at free)
Here is a quick diagram of the weave I used for the necklace in my previous post.
The beading pattern is two 11°, one accent bead. For the portion with the Swarovski 5301’s, the Swarovski is where the step-up is made. This reinforces the crystal. I use nymo D doubled, a personal preference.
Any questions, I’ll be more than happy to answer!

Hi, I like the way this looks. Did you have any trouble downloading it?

Hi Nicole,
I am using Inkscape on both Vista and XP. There are builds for a variety of platforms. What I did notice on my Vista machine..I had loaded this onto a partition. Inkscape could not find all of its parts. So I went back and loaded it into the default 'C' drive. Works fine there.
Does occasionally crash. I think that may be due to my inexperience with the program. And remember this is still a fledgling program.
All-in-all, I think it is a great program. The results I achieved in such a short time are fantastic!
