Knotted Fabric Necklace Tutorial Update

So you may or may not remember the tutorial I posted way back in May about how to make a Knotted Fabric Necklace, but anyway I have recently been making a few more in a different way so I thought I would show you them.

Oh and I used different sized beads for some and the occasional marble when I ran out... shh, don't tell the kids! 

So instead of a necklace looking like this:

They now look like this:

Obviously you would tie it neater so it is centered...

Which one do you prefer?
