    I had bought some 24 ga. Argentium Sterling Silver from Stuller to
    try crocheting a chain, but had not gotten around to do it.
    Motivated by all the questions, I tried it last night, and thought
    that it worked very well --- no problems at all. I am not an expert
    in Textile Techniques in Metal, but I have "woven" a dozen or more
    chains. 

    I am surprised by the statement that it work hardens quickly.  I have
    not had that perception, myself. I find the workability to be
    terrific. Perhaps the problem with that statement about work
    hardening has to do with our personal interpretations of what that
    means????
