Today we're having a family supper that includes brother Mark and nibling Nathan Wollenweber. Nathan is a devotee of Viking and Nordic culture, and so I've chosen to wear my chain mail tie! The Hurstwic Web site explains that "mail is a protective iron fabric made up of thousands of interlocking iron rings. In the Viking era, mail was always made with a 4-in-1 pattern, in which each ring passes through its four nearest neighbors." My tie captures the chain mail pattern in aluminum rings.
