Have you made viking knit before? If so, what did you make with it?
Repurposed copper wire from an electrical project. I regret not researching this more as I intended to make a necklace and fear the 8 loop weave will be too much
I used a hot glue stick as a mandrel and enameled copper wire
Thank you so much for refreshing my memory with this stunning. Chain I used to call these VIOLIN chains as I would make these filling my time while waiting on son in his violin classes twice a week a great way to pay for those lessons that was twenty years ago and I’m in my seventies now making a hand crafted heirloom piece for my grand children before in gone … stay blessed
The BEST explanation of how to add in another wire! Thank you! I've heard so many different ways and yours is absolutely the best and explained so clearly. Thank you!
New hobby, here I come!!
Yay! Have fun with it! 😃
I ❤️ your videos. You're so direct and to the point. And I love your teaching. 💋💋💋. Another GREAT learning experience here, with you.
Excellent tutorial, very clearly explained. Thank you for giving us this
Brilliant tutorial.. I want to teach upper primary school kids (9yrs up) some great life skills and this will be one of them! Your manner is encouraging and calm and I feel that I can teach well once I master this awesome skill myself. Wish all the best for you. Rosie/Australia
Omg your amazing xx I'm a big fan xxx
This video is one of the easiest to follow for viking knit that I have seen. Great job!
Omg thank you! You seem to be the only fully informative easy to digest for beginners!
Thank you so much! The official tool is so expensive! This seems like a better option for me!
I cannot wait to try making this!!! I absolutely love how it looks!! 😍 thank you so so so much for such a wonderful tutorial! ❤️
wow! My hands hurt from watching but I'm in awe!!!
This inspired me to try something interesting. I wondered, can you do viking knit with other material? Turns out you can. I tried cord, twine, and yarn. Obviously you can't exactly draw them like you can wire, but they turned out incredibly interesting for a bracelet. To finish them I weave a thread through the holes of both ends (so the 8 starting holes and the 8 loops at the bottom), then cinch them before applying glue and clasps.
Was infinitly faster working with a needle and cord or yarn this way rather than trying to actually knit something soooo small (can you imagine an 8 stitch circle of something as thin as twine on knitting needles? Noooo thanks.)
Hej, WOW I could KISS you right now, metaphorically. (Y) I used to viking knit with copper wire years ago. I have had so many things to do and make in my crafting years, viking themed and none viking themed that i have forgotten some parts of this Craft. So i have some time on my hands between orders so i clicked on youtube and you where the first one to pop up and as you are English, " that'll do for me Tommy " Hehehehe I have also subscribed to you also (Y) Tack
I love it my ideas my umbrella project my concepts
Thank you!
Thank you for this video, lovely clear instructions.
My first time seeing viking knit reduced.... Mind blown and all the new things i can make ... Thank you for this great video
wow....beautiful. Before today, I had never heard of viking knit, but now I am definitely going to try it. Thank you for an amazing video.
I must try this! Thanks for sharing.
You're welcome! Have fun! 😊
Quite amazing! Definitely have got to try this technique. Great tutorial, thank you.
I've already made several I just now need to find out earrings came up short on a few of them thank you once again your number one fan
Thank you for such a simple way to knit wire without a Daizee tool. LOVE the daisy 'cap' you made to fit over the top of the dowel. Now why didn't I think of that?! Lol.
Yes, I definitely subscribed!
Thanks for the measurements and estimates, they might come in really handy!
Best video i could find in trying this new craft! Thanks for sharing!
This actually looks easier than it does with the tool.. TFS.
I know what I’ll be teaching myself tomorrow.
Thank you for the tutorial 😊
Thank you for sharing your fantastic educational talents with us.
You’ve inspired me to have a go at this 👍
Amazing! Thank you for sharing this.
This is fantastic!
Just a note to let you know since I read Archaeology magazines and the intact Torcs look just like the curve in your weave. 👌
this is amazing thank you
This makes me think of loom knitting in a way
Fascinating 😮
oh thats interesting. Ive never heard of that before - and the reducing really interesting
عمل مبدع. وجميل❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Preciso y bien explicado. Muchas gracias por compartirlo !!
That's so cool!👍🏽
Precisa! tanto tú, cómo esta técnica de elboracion eres genial! Muchas gracias! Dios bendiga tus hermosas manos y prospere tu creatividad
Amazing work💝♥🙌🌹💛
So cool! 😎
Ficou linda que nem adona.👏
Wow great channel thanks for sharing your really talented 👍🏾 new here connected 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾🌸🌸🌸
this will work great in conjuntion with my resin pouring. But how do you finish off the loose ends?
I have done similar with strips of leather and horsehair to create a pattern. It was a braided item.
Thank you so much Lily, I was searching for the "correct' tools and was just about ready to spend about $25 for them. Your way is so much easier, although I will have to spend a few dollars for a draw tool. Speaking of which, do you recommend the wooden or the metal? I would think after a time, the wooden board would wear down more than the metal one. So glad I found your channel again.
Hello, My name is Joost from the Netherlands and really like the tutorials which inspires me a lot. I am starting with wire wrapping jewelry and want to know what brand of wire cutter you use. When I am looking in the Netherlands I only find the either very cheap ones (mostly bad quality) or the regular big ones. Thanks in advance for your answer.
By "under the previous knit," what do you mean exactly? Do you mean through the little loop in the previous row, behind the previous loop in the previous row, or something else? I guess the loops are just very small and I can't quite tell.
Thank you to anyone who answers this question in advance!
I like use an Alan key size 8
I must admit that I am having troubles sourcing 28/30 gauge wire for this.
I have been looking ll over (mainly Amazon.co.uk), but the najority is enamled- and it looks really glossy & yuk!
Do you have any handy hints where we could source "natural" looking wire? Ive ordered some Benecreat wire, but again that is enamel coated- and some silver plated wire (but thats expensive). Just want a copper or metal effect one.
Cheers again for the vid!
How long of a dowel rod you use? I a set of wooden mandrels that are 51/2 inches long.
Do you think this would be doable with thread?
👏👏👏
I wonder where I can get that gauge of wire?
Do you ever snip off the excess wire once you are ready to continue weaving over them?
I always wait until I've woven over the old and new wire ends a few times before trimming any excess. I've found that it helps the ends 'behave' and I haven't had any issues once the knit is drawn.
@@LilyTree TY for your reply.
Surely you would slide it off the other end if the pencil had a rubber on the end
Peter Tampsett why don’t you try that? Let us know how you get on.
Seriously though! If you struggle to get it off the eraser end, them just slide it off the other end. That struck me as a stupid reason to not use a pencil. Last time I checked, the other end of a pencil doesn't have an eraser to get in the way..lol.
Nice tutorial with excellent, clear explanations! It's just the right length, too. Thank you!
I think I actually like this method better than the Lazee Daisy tool because it clearly would give a lot more flexibility in size and number of loops, not to mention the fact that it doesn't leave one tied to a particular tool. It also seems a little less fiddly overall. I also like that you can just use scrap wire to start it off so there's no waste of the weaving wire when cutting it off. That's no big deal with cheap craft wire or even copper, but if you're using any sort of precious metal, it would obviously be highly undesirable.
Unfortunately, it's difficult to see the detail as you worked, especially at the beginning, because of low contrast between the colors of the wire and the dowel. It would be really helpful if you could use a color with more contrast and/or at least get the camera to focus in a little closer, tighter in to the place you're working on. I knew what you were doing because I've just watched the Lazee Daisy tool video which did both, so that there was no room for misunderstanding exactly where and how to place the wire at each point. Just a suggestion that I hope helps for future videos!
Ive made bracelets, necklaces, handles for a bag.
Ooh, handles! Nice idea!!
Will the knit eventually lose its shape and flatten out by wearing on a wrist?
No, it won't lose its shape or flatten.
Perhaps if it's very thin gauge wire and/or single knit, it might deform over time if you wear it on your wrist and put pressure on it, but generally speaking if you're double/triple knitting and using something in the 24-28 gauge range it gains a fair bit of structural rigidity when drawn down, especially if you're reducing it substantially from your starting diameter.
hi greetings from a french guy filming nigeria with his drones ....coming from Nick live :)
nice work !
thanks for sharing !!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💖💖💖
It was to hard for me, but ill try again soom
Literally was like “what is Viking knit?” Found this video looking for something else…looks like I may have a new hobby…🤦🏼♀️
Day-Z
It’s a bit hard to see...I guess it’s hard to get close up
I went full screen on my desktop, and that got me close enough. Definitely would have been nice if she could have gotten closer, but that may be a limitation of what she was recording with.
Great to see it. I did it too. The plans from Woodglut helped me a lot :)
