I'm afraid that I don't remember any project sheets or kits that seemed to twist like that. But there are still a few avenues to check before I decide that it must have been someone else's pattern.
Was it maybe a necklace that we had at a trade show? If so, I might be able to track it down and send you a photo of it.
We've also sometimes had illustrations of items in our catalog, that we have just listed parts for, but haven't really had a project sheet (or sometimes, even a real piece of jewelry ... just a computer-drawn illustration). A computer glitch ate the most involved ones of those a few years ago, but we might be able to recreate one if we can remember it well enough.
Any other details that you can remember would be great - Do you remember any colors, size (3-strand, many-strand-woven, choker, earrings, long necklace, bracelet), etc.?
Another thought ... maybe we showed the cover a book, and the item was on the book cover. Does that seem likely at all?
We have certainly had a lot of books that had intricate seed & bugle designs in them.
