This time I’ll be joined by my niece Liz, who’s starting her own crafting business for her crochet! Find her online at LizJustLiz.
A composite photo showing the crochet wares of my niece Liz. They include crochet cherries, gummy bears, leggy frogs and a candy cane. The bears are in a variety of colours, including blues, pinks, purples and green.

A follow up with one more pitcure, since BlueSky only allows 4 pictures in a post
A reversible chainmail cuff bracelet in the Japanese 12-in-2 weave. The three row bracelet is made from anodized aluminum rings, with alternating diagonal lines of royal blue and sky blue on one side, and and the same pattern in black and yellow on the other side, all connected by smaller black rings. Laid on a neutral fabric background, twisted to show both sides at once.

It’s a simple pattern, I can do them in four different sizes/levels, and it’s easy to add a ribbon (or ornament hooks, pics of those will come later) The three-tier version even makes a nice poinsettia. 🎅🏼🎄❄️

A scale Mail flower, intended for use as a holiday ornament, decoration or pendant. This is the largest size I make, with three rows of scales, beginning with two offset rows of five large scales apiece, and a third inner row of five small scales, all joined by 16 and 18 gauge rings. This particular piece is designed to resemble a poinsettia flower, with the bottom row of large scales in green, and the second and third rows in red, all connected by red rings. It is resting on a neutral fabric background. A double-row five-petal scale flower, made in shades of silver and blue to evoke a snowflake, hanging from a blue ribbon to demonstrate its use as a holiday ornament. The photo was taken while it was on display at a recent market, so it was hanging on the front of my wooden “Welcome to the Shire” sign, made from a board with bark still on the edges, the words and vine decorations painted on in black.

I’ll be able to get a little crazy with it. Think I can make a tartan out of chainmail? 😆

I’m getting a little more ambitious with the colour patterns in this weave, and I’m pretty proud of this one. Also, with more rings on the way, I’ll have more colour options! I’ll be able to do patterns in the larger rings as well as the smaller in this weave, which means…

A chainmail cuff bracelet in the dragonscale weave, diamond shaped, made out of anodized aluminum. The larger rings are black, with the smaller inner rings in a striped gradient going green, royal blue, sky blue and silver. Laid flat on a neutral cloth background.

If you want to see this in person, remember that I have an upcoming show on Saturday, the Christmas Market at St Peter Mohyla Institute!

Poster for the Christmas Market at St Peter Mohyla Institute on November 29th 2025. The poster displays a Christmas decorated barn flanked by Christmas trees, with dangling ornaments and drifting snowflakes surrounding it. As well as the name of the market and host (in English and Ukrainian) it says “Get ready for the holidays together!” and provides additional information: 1240 Temperance Street, Saskatoon, 10 am to 2 pm, and a list of what you can find at the market; Masterclasses (by registration), Exclusive Gifts and Crafts, Magical Christmas Decorations, and Delicious Holiday Treats.

Maybe next time I’ll try to shoot a video of me making it.

Continuing off the previous posts, a picture of my work table with chain mailing pliers, and a half-finished piece. The Dragonscale cuff holds its shape well on the finished side, showing the diamond shape that it will take. The other side is still to be finished, but the piece holds itself stable at this point and is much easier to work with than at the beginning.

Once you have a certain amount of it down, it starts to hold its shape better, and becomes much easier to weave. Some of the rings on the working edge are still a little fiddly, but when the majority is holding itself stable then it’s not so difficult to fix those bits.

A picture of the same table as the previous post, with mailing pliers, loose rings and a partially made piece of a chainmail cuff. The Dragonscale weave now has several more rows complete, and is beginning to hold its shape quite well. The edges where it will continue to expand still show some looser rings, but much more stable than before. At this point the chainmail is much easier to work with, and expanding it becomes a matter of routine.
