Knitting With Wire

Hello everybody! My name is Sandy, and this knitalong couldn't have come at a better time for me - a few days ago, I discovered knitting with wire. I always knew it was something you could do, but never gave it a second thought until I saw the two wire projects in the book "Simple Knits with a Twist" - a lovely knitted copper bowl and beaded napkin holders. I knew I had to try it:


I haven't decided yet what I'm going to knit out of wire - perhaps a beaded candle shade, or a choker, or a bowl inspired by the Simple Knits book. Either way, I'll be talking about my progress at my website Burnt Orange (and here's the original post I wrote about knitting with wire, with a few more pictures). I can't wait to see what the rest of you ladies come up with - I have the feeling there are going to be some creative projects in the coming months! Best of luck! :)
