Lubricus:
Anyone who thinks that looks like chainmail has never seen the real thing... :-P
SubaruStephen:
It's what they used in Monty Python and the Holy Grail... :-P
Maybe Faye can build one of these and modify it to knit:

Neko_Ali:
So... Now that Faye is tied up in the UberScarf... Are we going to spend the next few weeks with the two of them reenacting 50 Shades of Yarn?

Good luck trying to KNIT chainmail! But then again, making chainmail and other types of metal armour might be right up Faye's alley. It's surprisingly meditative, actually, and you get to manipulate metal, which is always relaxing.

Apparently, it's very relaxing. I was at a rather sprawling, loud, multi-day party one time where there were a bunch of SCA folks (really, do SCA folks throw any OTHER kind of party?) where I happened upon a bearded young man sitting at a table, making chain mail. I thought it a bit odd, but I watched him for a few minutes, then complimented him on the patience and the concentration it must take, especially in all that chaos. He told me he suffered from crippling social anxiety, and the only way he could really come to something like this is if he could take a break and soothe himself by doing his craft. Nice guy, and later, one of the ladies modeled the chain mail bikini he'd made for her.
