I just finish the crochet portion of my first beaded thread crochet project. JP Coats crochet thread and sz 11 silver lined glass beads. Pattern is At The Back of My Mind Choker by Marnie MacLean. With J's help and her books, it was a surprising smooth project. There were occasional "huhs" and quite a bit of ripping. I did mod the beads, I prefer 3 beads (odd number, better) vs 2 beads (don't like even numbers). I still need to find ribbon closure.
