chain maille challenged

yanno, when we first started this whole "if ur gonna LARP ya gotta dress the part" bit, we really didn't realize what we were getting into.

"yeah, i'm trying to make chain maille but i'm not getting very far"
"ya want help? i'll help."

here's kinda how its gone so far making the hauberk:
"bring the schtuff and let's do it"
"ummmmmmmmm ... this pattern looks kinda frogged. i'm gonna start over"

four coils of wire later ...
"i dunno about u but to me it looks like a bra or something"
"shut up and find me more wire"

"just coil, dammit"

at the store, shopping for wire:
"lady ... this is the electrical fence section. you have an electrical fence??"
"no, i'm making chain maile."
"you can't even lift that roll and u want to WEAR it???"
"it's not for me. it's for my daughter's boyfriend."
"what, lady ... you don't like him or somethin???"

two more rolls of wire ... "now it looks like one of those grandma bras" (the long kind)

two more rolls of wire ... "at least it doesn't look like a bra now. now its a halter top. kinky"

best moments?

breaking out two sets of pliers and working on it in subway lmao
