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...

Yeah, I started with the Euro 4 in 1, then moved onto Byzantine (my fave!) and helms chain, which I can kind of do, but definitely need to check and buy different ring sizes when I can afford to, and fairly recently started on box chain.

Square cut rings are so cool! I bought some to use for a Byzantine weave lanyard for a friend, but we had a falling out before I finished it...so I guess I get to keep it when it's done...
