I have tried that daizy knitter and I could never figure it out from the instructions. But, I just happened across your tutorial one day and I sat down and in less than TEN MINUTES had a 20inch long weave going. THANK YOU!!! I have been wanting to learn this for the longest time. I caught the metal weaving bug when I learned to make chainmaille designs eight years ago and have seen some amazing viking knit pieces, but had never found a good tutorial. This was so simple and inexpensive with common household items. This is just too awesome for words.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10865996321317583169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141622931272047282.post-17819418488434275012013-10-27T07:23:48.584+13:002013-10-27T07:23:48.584+13:00I Love to learn something new. great I Love to learn something new. great Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141622931272047282.post-27829398307809053702013-09-20T09:28:15.677+12:002013-09-20T09:28:15.677+12:00Hi Meishie, it's a great idea to use a base me...Hi Meishie, it's a great idea to use a base metal while you practice! You can't work directly from a spool as you are bringing your whole length of wire through each loop. I usually work with a maximum length that stretches from one hand outstretched from my side to the other (about 1.8metres)so I don't get in a tangle with too longer length! Then when that runs out I just cut another of the same size and add that. <br /><br />It's hard to give a guideline of how much wire to use for a project as it depends on your tension of knit, the size dowel/pencil (whatever) you are using, how many loops you start with (most 5 or 6 gives a nice look) and how much you will be drawing the finished chain down. <br /><br />As a rough guide, you can expect a 23 cm chain to draw down to 46cm (9inch to 18inch). But how much wire you will use to get that 23cm depends on the items mentioned above. I recommend keeping notes of measurements as you practice so you build reference based on your specific knit. <br /><br />Let me know how you go :-)Mel @ Wildflowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03470126942351062595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141622931272047282.post-14504971624168103682013-09-20T01:08:00.008+12:002013-09-20T01:08:00.008+12:00how do you know how much wire to use for a project...how do you know how much wire to use for a project?

My one is a Beadsmith brand and it has 12 holes which apparently range from 1-7mm. Because mine is well used it's not going to be very accurate if I measure them but I guess they must go up in 1/2 mm increments.
