The old way on the left and my new Viking Knit tool on the right with no more setup..

I have been making jewelry for about 15 years now..I learned wirework years ago from Lynne Merchant, she is such a great teacher. I took a class several years ago from Tracy Stanley to learn Viking Knit, I just loved it. But to start it the old way you have to wrap a piece of copper around a piece of cardboard then center it on top of a dowel and spread the loops out even and tape them so they didn't move..Oh my gosh that isn't fun..well after all these years I finally designed a tool where there is NO more set up, can you believe that..it is the most awesome tool, I just love it..I can't imagine anyone ever doing it the old way again..Anyway I have a website where you can order it, so hurry over and buy one you are going to love it..http://vikingknittool.com/index.html Look at the beautiful Viking knit on these bracelets I made....Terri Brush is having a class using my new Viking Knit Tool on Sept. 12 hurry over and sign up for it http://www.terribrushdesigns.com/index.html More later, Barbara
