    Anyone know what weave this is..?

     So I dont actually have a pic of it but I saw a woman's bracelet the other day and its been on my mind ever since. IT didnt look so complicated... it looked as it was a 2 strand braid... structurally i could see there were 2 size rings. some big ones and then the smaller ones where the ones that spiraled, and then again some big ones and so on.

     Cab anyone understand what Im saying?? Im sorry for not being so explicit.. I've tried looking for a pic of something similar but I havent found anything...

    If anyone can help me out, I really appreciate it. Thanks

    Hmmm, nothing comes to mind, but take a look around here http://www.mailleartisans.org/index.cgi and see if anything looks familiar.

    Could it be something like this?  It's simple box chain (or queen's link, among other names) with 2 different ARs

      

    Or Spiral chain?

      

    Those are the only 2 I've ever done that somewhat meet your description.  Angela

    I'm wondering if it might have been a combination of two different weaves, done in segments.

    thanks for the links and the ideas... yes i do think it was kind of 2 sections of spiral weave joined together by a bigger ring or something like that, but each "section" had 2 sections of spiral weave.

    I'm going to give that a try and let you know what I come up with!

    I think I found it!

    it was very similar to this one, although the one I saw had 2 different sized rings. I think I can do something with what I found though... thanks so much for the links!

     Wow Angela I love that spiral pattern.  Where can I find that or are you willing to share it with me?  That really caught my eye.
