Yeah, Helm's doesn't work well if you don't have ring sizes that work well together. It was the first weave I learned so it's always been a favorite.

Actually the last of the "basic" weaves I learned was European 4 in 1. Everyone always says it's so easy, but it's hella unstable until you get a couple rows in, so no, it's really not. Byzantine or Box maille is actually an easier starter weave... or Persian. Basically anything that isn't Euro 4 in 1 lol.

My obsession lately has been the square wire rings. They're so pretty. A bit of a bugger to work with, but so fun.

I'm still envious of you string workers. I just can't...
