Thank you Caitlin and Claudenancy! It was fun! I wondered if the number of photos was a bit over the top, but whenever I've tried to learn from books, I always get frustrated by the gap between the photos (how did they get from this point to that point?) So I thought I'd err on the side of too many.
Now to the questions: Round wire, half hard. We have some square wire but I haven't played around with it much yet.
Honestly, as to the marks on the pliers and dowel, I just experimented with cheap copper wire until I found the spot that would give me a loop that was a size I liked. Feel free to experiment and play with the loop size! Post photos of any improvements or variations!
