Whoa hoo!

I have just made maille making history! 

I am the first person to create a 6 in 1 version of dragon scale (See the List of Weaves page).  The question was raised in this thread on the Chainmaille Board as to whether there was a 6 in 1 version of dragon scale, so I proved myself up to the challenge, and knit this first ever piece of 6 in 1 dragon scale, hence forth to be known as “Fafnir’s scale”.

I am obscenely pleased with myself.

I used very large rings (⁷/₈" ID and ¹/₂" ID) to make this example, in order to make it easier to knit.  Perhaps I will make another example with smaller rings at a future date.

The project was completed on June 11, 2003.

NOTE: In case you do not know, Fafnir was a dragon from Norse mythology, defeated by the hero, Siguard.
