\"Book<\/a>This book<\/a> describes how to make wire jewelry. As you might now, in my youth, I dabbled into beadcraft. But wire jewelry isn’t beads.<\/p>\n

Instead, it uses a variety of stitches to weave the wire and then requires you to draw the finished knit through a series of smaller holes to tighten it into a rope.<\/p>\n

It’s a particularly complex bit of engineering with a lot of points of failure, and it works with silver wire throughout. It looks to be a bit expensive to pick up and wrought with opportunities to fail just a little but just enough to render the whole thing ruined.<\/p>\n

One does not simply dabble into the wire jewelry. Insert your own Internet meme here with Sean Bean.<\/p>\n

So I don’t think I’ll pursue this particular craft. Nor even try it. But the end results look interesting.<\/p>\n
