Mod Ring Helpful Hints..... (Pattern available through Interweave Crochet)

Here are some step by step pictures to help with starting the ring design.  I did these photos using regular cotton thread and contrasting beads in hopes that it would help the camera find the stitches easier.  I've been making this ring for over 4 years and have become accustomed to seeing and finding the stitches.  As simple as the pattern is - the difficult part is being VERY FAMILIAR with the way the tiny stitches look when pulled in various directions.  (Click on each frame to read caption for each picture.)
I hope this helpful.  Please email me if I can be of further assistance.  (Pattern available on Interweave -- jump there.... )

Rings pattern overview....

(Rnd 1 - initial 3 bead ch - then join into a circle.  After & from here you never "join" again - you are just increasing in the round) 
(Rnd 2 - bsc & ch 1, 3 times = 6 sts - and the sl st from rnd 1counts as 7) 
(Rnd 3 - if you do a bsc, ch 1 in those 7 sts - you have 14) 
(Rnd 4 - bsc in each st around - not increasing anymore - till remaining beads are used) 
(Rnd 5 - make the band & finish)
