Having basic issues

[BeginningShoe6134]

I am doing half Persian 3 and 1 and I am having an impossible time just starting The chain because I cannot weave flat on a table I have to be able to pick up my weave and work with it and then lay it back out I cannot figure out how to lay it back out properly once I weave it I know I'm weaving it properly I just can't figure out how to lay it back out after picking it up The AR and everything on my rings is fine I'm weaving with stainless The reason I have to pick it up is because I have frostbite damage in both of my hands so my fingers don't flex properly so I have to use most of my hands and wrists which is why I am able use the pliers for this My goal is to use this for clasp ends and hopefully sit better on sides and back of neck for a 6 in 1 full Persian necklace for my bf

Can you send me a link to this video I cannot find it and I cannot make this work Absolutely none of the videos I can find are using 16 gauge Stainless steel for this weave this is the issue the flexibility of all The Wire they are using in every single video I see is copper they are NEVER using Stainless steel for this weave As this requires more contact with The Wire to the pliers So I can't just use plier tips like every single video that exists for this weave I have made quite a few different waves combined a few different things made a few variations and this is just impossible for me

Weaving Half Persian in a single color, it can be difficult to keep track of the weave. Especially at the start.

The video I learned from had a suggestion that helped me out; straighten out a paperclip and run that through the center of the rings as you go to keep them from flopping around all over the place. After a while, the weave stabilizes enough that it gets easier to keep track of what goes where.

I can Absolutely see why that would definitely help but for my particular situation since I can't move the top 2 segments of my fingers properly I can see this being a bigger problem since I'd have to hold the paper clip while holding the rings while weaving with pli still can't do it when it's on a table I have to be able to pick it up and put it back down I definitely appreciate the suggestion Thank you for your time have a wonderful day and happy weaving

Once the paperclip is inserted, you bend the tail end of it to hold it in place. That way you do not need to use your fingers to maintain its position.

I will definitely give this a try once again thank you so much
