So, you’ve heard about Viking wire knitting and have wondered what it would be like to give it a try. Why not watch how it’s done first and then decide if it is for you or not.

My name is Katherine Walters, aka The Knitted Raven. I’m a wire artist, wire and fiber knitter and jewelry maker. On Ravelry I’m known as Ketdryn.

I’ve recently published a series of videos that show you how to create a strand of Viking style wire knitting and how to turn it into a necklace right from the basic wire working skills needed on up.

In the description for each video is a list of tools and materials needed.

If you are interested in making a Viking wire knitted necklace (as shown in the pictures above), I suggest you look at the following in the Wire Working 101 playlist on my channel:
