Byzantine & what???

[sparrow]

Full of questions tonight - I've got quite a few rings left I bought to do byzantine chain maille, but I'm now wondering what other weaves I could do with the same ratio? They're quite small (4mm OD, I think, or maybe 4mm ID, can't remember, need to dig them out)......any suggestions?

They're probably 3.5mm id - which is perfect for byzantine.

There are loads of other weaves that you can do with them

shaggy loops (flipflop)
euro 4-1
rhinos snorting drano (and other barrel weaves)
pheasible
turkish roundmaille
2 in 2
byzantine variations (olivia, romanov etc)
diamondback

will that do to start with

By heck - it's a foreign language

We need pictures

Are they 1mm wire? If so I expect they are 3.5mm ID. You can try enigma (it uses a lot of rings though), european 4 in 1, roundmaille, turkish roundmaille. if you fancy cutting a few 1.0/6.0mm rings you can make helm chain. It partially depends on just how many rings you have left.

Have fun!

Doh! just seen George had already replied  What's diamondback? Not heard of that one before

Eek!!! Some of that made sense  Thanks George & Sal! I got a pheasible bracelet from Sal in exchange for my camera, and I love it - I also like how you can use segments as a 'spacer' between other beadies......I think that's my next step, then....one little segment at a time  Sal, I think they're thinner than 1mm, but I'm honestly not sure - I bought them over a year ago, I think. Thanks again!!
