Sorry for the delay. I've been away for 5 days helping a son move home. Have a look at the thread on

and his episode 2 which is advertised on the site. This tutorial doesn't show working with a spool but if you Google "Viking knit tutorial" more tutorials will show up. I don't use a spool as I find it more difficult to work the wire using this method, but this is only a personal preference. I like to see something being made so this tut is excellent. I learnt from a contributor on the Silicon Folly Forum so wind my wire to start on a ruler instead of a dowel shape. I now make lampwork glass beads and recently have started to make "Beaded Treasure Bracelets from the book by Robin Adkins. If you want to see a couple, click on one of the links on the "Recent Blog Posts" on the left of this page if you scroll up.
