Blanket. Shawl. Wire Bracelet - Knit a Simple Wire Bracelet. Heavy Metal: Knitting with wire is similar to knitting with yarn, but at the same time it's completely different. The technique is the same, but the wire is harder to work with, meaning you'll progress a lot more slowly than if you were knitting the same project with yarn. Knit stitches also look different when worked in wire rather than fiber, but there's still something about those loops that's unmistakably knit. If you've never knit with wire before, this is a good first project because it's pretty easy, gives you lots of practice and is relatively forgiving. And you can change it up a million different ways.

You can just run the ends along the inside of the seamed edge, and it's invisible.
All other joins are slightly imperfect, so best to locate them inconspicuously if possible, like under the arm of a sweater. Felting will only work with wool, and some other animal fibers. Always try a test sample first with your yarn to see if it will work, and to see if you like the results! If you are using a smooth, shiny wool, felting will give it a dull look where felted, and a stiffer feel. For non-felted joins, you will have an end that pops out of work slightly; make sure this end is where you want it, by leaving a bit of yarn (1/4"-1/2") sticking out on the inside of the garment, or in as inconspicuous a place as possible.
