Slowly, very slowly, I am getting back into the swing of things. I have had difficulty lately getting motivated to get into my studio / garage - maybe because it's so cold in there! I have so many ideas floating around in my head and I have to get them out. So, to get going again I decided to knit. Above is the length of chain that I spent several days working on. It is a slow process, but a meditative one. When knitting with wire it usually takes me about 20 - 30 minutes to knit about an inch in length. The sterling silver chain above was 19 inches. Once it was 'drawn' and smoothed out I gained 2 inches on the overall length. The copper bit on the end will be cut off - this was my starting point. I do have a plan for this length of chain - but you will have to wait and see what I come up with!
