Thanks for the link Patricia. He does very impressive work. I love that ring. I just don't see me being able to do it.

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.
