Always beautiful, looks deceptively simple, and it's highly addictive! I recently finished a few chain maille pieces, and I love the way they turned out.
The first few weaves of any chain maille piece are difficult to start. In the beginning you're just looking at a few rings and it's not easy to remember which way is up! But, once the pattern starts to emerge, it's like magic!
Besides the ever popular European 4-1 pattern and Byzantine pattern, I have not seen many people wearing chain maille. Well, of course at the renaissance fairs! But I mean regular folk. Hmmmmm...maybe I'll have to make some for myself and wear it around town to see if I get any comments. Well, hopefully positive comments anyway!!
