You may want to check out my site. Many Macrame knots are suitable for wire weaving. Celtic knots in particular are often used in wire jewelry making. I was thinking of trying some wire weaving myself, just of fun.

Here are some Celtic knots that work out well with wire: Turk's Head, Josephine, Celtic Square Knot, Figure 8 knots, and Plaits. I am definitely going to try my hand at doing them with wire, to make Christmas Ornaments. I'll let you know how it turns out.
