Description
well here's another one, because I've been lazy the past few days I haven't made much, nor have I photographed anything. I'm waiting on photographing stuff until I can get a picture of my project I created last weekend. So in place of real maille I give you CGI tutorial maille. This is perhaps my favorite weave, especially in a certain color scheme, which you can see in the tutorial. I hope you all like this weave as much as I do, because at some point I'm going to have a deviation with a few bracelets in this style up here much like I did with the Half Persian bracelets.Feedback appreciated!
has used my tutorial to produce a piece, check it out here: [link]

I've always been fascinated with chainmaille, and always wanted to make my own. This looks like a straight forward, easy to follow tutorial. Thank you for sharing it

of course! It really is fun, it's time consuming but therapeutic in a way. Also, it's very addicting. If you're looking for more information look at the Arador Armor Library, as well as the Mail Artisans International League (www.mailleartisans.org)

I have made up my own designs yes, they're posted on here as the "Fireman's Hold" various deviations... whenever I don't have a project in mind but I wanna fool around with stuff I just start putting rings together and sometimes I find something that looks like it'd be worth pursuing and that's sort of how I developed the Fireman's Hold weaves, I've got another couple of things I have to take a closer look at and see if I can't make something neat out of them as well.

Well done only one thing you could have done with a better colour choice at the bottom cos you cant really see the pattern i love this one two its the most popular weave i use
when i do it i tend to make one side first to the required length then put the closed rings over the smaller rings and link them in that way... if that makes sence ^^

Nice!
If, in the first step, 'fig a' you have 2 more reds on the second blue then in 'fig b' (just before the arrow), you only have to open one ring, the blue, thred that through the extra 2 reds from fig a...repeat, etc...know what I mean?...saves opening some rings...

yeah, I see what you mean, I for some reason just find it easier opening the small rings and closing the big ones, more open rings but easier in my opinion.
