Please post and tell us what you think is strange about the piece I just posted a pic of.
I'll confirm if someone gets it right. I may tell everyone outright if it takes too long.

Re: Something strange here
Tue, April 8, 2008 - 5:51 AMdo you mean the center row holding the two 4 in 1 strands or the fact that the links were made from square wire? -

Re: Something strange here
Tue, April 8, 2008 - 10:53 AMYou're close, but the wire was full round.
The pattern is two 3-wide bands of 6-in-1 that are held together by a row of 4-in-1. -

Tue, April 8, 2008 - 12:21 PMDoh! In the photo it looks like square wire. I was having trouble following the pattern but now with that information I can see it.

Tue, April 8, 2008 - 1:58 PMHey, no biggie. I thought I was supposed to squint or somethin' to see the hidden message! ;D
Cool pattern though! Yay!

Re: Something strange here
Thu, April 10, 2008 - 4:51 AMI have to admit that this expirement turned out to be much better than I had suspected it would. The biggest problem with it seems to be that the panel wants to fold at the 4-in-1 seam (which might make it inappropriate for a choker, since the top would tend to flop down).

Thu, April 10, 2008 - 6:06 AMIt does look good though. Maybe a belt? Some tribal belly dancers like chainmail belts. -

Re: Something strange here
Mon, April 14, 2008 - 12:54 AMI would consider making a belt if I were able to solder the links closed.
All I use are butt joints, and I think that the weight of a belt would make the links spread.
I don't want to make something that's a maintenance headache. -

Re: Something strange here
Tue, April 15, 2008 - 9:43 AMWhen I tried that, my failure rate was about 85%.
I think I'd need to use a Sparky or some other form of resistance solderer.
