    Dear Janet Yang 

    My wife has done a lot of viking knit (I'm too lazy and have not got
    the patience for it) in sterling and in .935 silver and about 10
    years ago I gave her a DIY necklace in 8 karat yellow gold, which she
    found quite springy. She has later done several necklaces and
    bracelets in 14 karat YG, using wire diameters of 0,4, 0,45 and 0,5
    mm and has no problem using ordinary annealed wire. On shows, where I
    exhibit her viking knitwork, the public often believe that her work
    is industrially made chain <grin>. So, I'm quite sure that Irene 

    From Petersen is absolutely wrong about the needed working
    properties of wire for viking knitwork. 

    By the way, where does the word 'trichinopoly' derive from? 
    According to my 'Oxford English Reference' it is a town in Tamil
    Nadu, Southern India.
