woohoo! you'll have to post some of your finished items when you get there! :)

The one arriving today has a couple of kits, a pendant and a bracelet, and then a rainbow assortment of one size ring I use most frequently for byzantine weave bracelets.
I may just start on the pendant when I get home...

Then the order arriving possibly the 14th has supplies for scale flowers which I'm absolutely dying to try/make!

ooh that sounds like a good haul :)

Yeah....I bought way more than I initially planned to...most of the order (from The Ring Lord) that's arriving later is actually limited edition colors (mostly pinks because pinks and reds were 10% off for valentine's) that are leftover from custom orders. And some limited edition colors in small and large scales for flowers. And then silver rings in sizes for the small, single layer flowers, and a double layer flower kit.
Plus the stuff that's waiting in my mail box from Weave Got Maille.

Weave Got Maille - love it!

I'm working on designs for a Rainbow Mothra inspired dress, also gonna make wings and a headdress to go with.

Have already made and am disappointed with one of the WGM kits. The whirlybird pendant. Made it exactly as the instructions stated, and it looks great laying down, but looks like garbage when suspended because the weave is just a little too loose to hold it's shape and so the rings kind of flop down and look awful.

oh that's frustrating, Kaderin :(

I've seen videos on YouTube for the pendant before, so I may check to see if they list other/different sizes. Though, frustratingly, a lot of videos tend to just say "large ring/small ring" instead of giving actual sizes.
So we'll see.

anymore, youtube and pinterest are like a box of chocolates - you never know what you're gonna get.

much like michael's now, which is why i'm not teaching anymore. they've opened it (the classroom & teaching) up to the community, but people who want to teach have to submit a lesson plan to michael's, so there is that. but it's not certified through anyone, like i am with the Craft Yarn Council. i still wear my button on my name tag, but it's more of a show-off thing now.

but, even though the lesson plan looks good, you still don't know what you're gonna get when you get there, y'know?

Trystan! Time to pick the yarn for my entrelac shawl! XD
These are the gradient/ombre ones I'm pretty sure I have enough of.

ooh, i like the bottom left one - the teal-y colors!

Teal it is!
*digs out all the teal yarns*

oh yaay!

i'm working on part 1 of 2 of my Smaug panels for my heirloom blanket

Oooooof that whirlybird
There might be a way to make a loose one sit properly? Might be online somewhere? Might just have to play with it and maybe extra mats until it sits?

Well, my googling turned up a lot of results for whirlybird roof ventilation, but no fixing of a loose chainmaille weave.
So I'm on my own.

Did find 1 good tutorial for a larger version on YouTube, which seems like a good, tighter/more stable weave, but I'm not sure how to convert those ring sizes to ones that would fit the smaller pendant size.
