[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 183836, member: 1991"] "My Gothic girl who knits." Has she started knitting chain mail yet? I'm not kidding. It's called "knitting" when you make chain mail. husband began a small piece purely to see how it was done, easy child 2/difficult child 2 got interested and began work on a halberd. She actually went to an audition with her chain mail in a bag. It's string onto a metal rod which does look very much like a large metal knitting needle, but from there it's different. The metal rod also does duty to wind the wire around, which forms a coil which she slips off then cuts into individual links. The links then get clamped into a set of five, which then get joined together to add more units to the chain mail garment. This is for single mail - if you were going into battle with it, single mail is lighter but wouldn't stop much. But for a real Goth effect in the local Irish pub, a chain mail halberd over the corset would certainly turn heads... easy child 2/difficult child 2 wears corsets. Real ones. Tight ones. I set a rule that she had to be able to lace it herself (none of this clinging to the bedpost while a slave does the lace tightening). She says it's "like wearing a hug". So when I saw a picture of a design by a student at difficult child 3's school of a corset made from barbed wire, I had to take a photo. There's definitely nothing run-of-the-mill with our girls.
