Jewelry Making Tutorial
Q.Is there a good online tutorial for Silver Wire Knitting? I have a four-prong spool, and I tried to use it with fine silver wire a couple of times, but had zero luck. I just thought it would be cool to make a bracelet.
A.Try this link... http://wigjig.com/jewelry-tools/WJU/techniques/chains/pg03.htm Here's a website that carries a book called "WIRE KNITTING...On a Spool", by Sharon Hessoun: http://www.beadeckedonline.com/ ($19.95 on their website, 12 project directions are included; book teaches you three different wrap techniques to produce a variety of jewelry and accessories on two different size spools). And here's a corresponding page where the book is reviewed by someone who used it to learn Wire Knitting: http://jewelrymaking.about.com/library/weekly/aa072101.htm A quick google also showed some *tips for wire knitting from this website: http://www.angelfire.com/home/avital/technical2.html Her reference Books are: 1) Arline M. Fisch, Textile Techniques with Metal (Lark Books, 1996), The Bible of wire knitting, twining, sprang, lacemaking, crochet and whatever else you might try to do with wire. It's now back in print and available from Lark Books and is full of gorgeous photos and detailed technical material; and 2) Annelise Kraus, Knitting with Silver wire, Threads 52 (May 1994), pp. 42-43.
