Interlocking of a Different Kind

Still looking through Edwige Renaudin's book (La Frivolité aux Navettes), here are some "anneaux entrelaçés" (which actually means interlocked rings, or "interlaced" rings) and a chain made of interlocked split rings.


I have to say these are much easier to make than the interlocked rings of previous posts.  Even the last ring which connects to two at the end is easier to manage.


The chain of split rings is made with four shuttles:

Perhaps it would have been better if I had used the same colour for each side of the split ring but I just used up thread I had left on various shuttles.  So it's a four-colour split-ring chain!

I like the interlocking rosettes.  I shall be exploring them further.  I feel an idea coming up for a new pattern using these rings...  Actually just one motif (like the lilac and green) on a brooch would look really pretty, don't you think?

Best wishes,
