Hi, I was ready to purchase everything I thought I would need from here to learn the viking knit w/ wire

http://www.beadeckedonline.com/catal...products_id=28

but when I had emailed to inquire about it, this is the response I had got

Hi Cherie -
This is not viking knit. It looks much the same but is a completely
different process. I didn't want you to buy this and then be disappointed.

This is spool knitting - a fiber technique that was created in Scandinavia
in the 10th century for making cords and braids. It is great fun! I find
that beginners are most comfortable working on the 3-pin spool to get the
feel of the technique and the tension needed. You can use that size spool
for everything - necklace, bracelets, anklets, eyeglass leashes. . . so it
is very versatile.

Let me know if you have other questions!
