NOW. Badge lanyards. I made a couple of these for a couple of Enforcers at PAX 08 and they not only looked awesome, they did not even threaten to break. If you are a Buttoneer (participant in the PAX button exchange) these lanyards function well for collecting those buttons because the weave allows you to thread the pin between the rings!
Made from anodized aluminum, these are lightweight and comfortable. The weave allows the lanyard to lay flat against your neck and chest and the badge clip is permanently fixed.
Starting now, I am going to take custom orders for PAX 09. For a standard aluminum 1-2 color lanyard, I charge $40. For each additional color after that I'll add $5 (i.e. a 4-color lanyard will be $50). I can do other options, such as a flattened steel lanyard (example pic coming soon!) for a negotiable price. SteamCon is coming up in October. If you want a full brass lanyard, I can make you one. Copper/Steel/Brass mix, sure. Solid sterling silver, you bet.
If you want one, comment on this post or email me at Jules@knittedsteel.net! I'll be taking orders until July, but the sooner you order, the sooner you can use the lanyard for other stuff too! SakuraCon, ECCC, Work, I'm looking at all of you. o_O

Hey, I wouldn't mind a red and black one. In fact, that would be pretty cool.
These look great. I'll be ordering one for sure.
Liger was kind enough to make one of these for my b'day, I wore one throughout PAX 08, they are indeed quite awesome. They are very strong and keep cool against your skin. And they look awesome. Vastly preferable to any other lanyard.
How possible is a burnt orange/olive green doohicky?
Joel:
I can do something similar to burnt orange/olive green. Anodized Titanium has a great look to it in green: http://theringlord.com/images/products/rings/tagreen.jpg
And gold or bronze-colored aluminum would blend really well with that: http://theringlord.com/images/products/rings/AAColorsLG.jpg
Titanium is a little pricier, but not much. If you want to chat more about it, drop me an email at jules@knittedsteel.net. Cheers!
Oberon would like a primarily black with the odd sterling silver ring stuck in lanyard. (Unless another metal would be substantially - more than $15 - cheaper, in which case anything silvery would be fine. But I doubt it'd make that much difference.)
VT here, Fantastic idea Liger! =) =)
I'll be in for one as soon as I get some spare cash (hopefully this next paycheck =) )
Can mine be yellow and black in homage of my Triwizard Drinking Tournament team? =)
Gracewanderer: How odd? Like, put some bling in every 10 links? If he just wants something silvery I can do the entire thing in black/bright aluminum for no additional cost.
VT: Can do!
I am Oberon =)
I was thinking randomly interspersed rather than at regular intervals. But I'd prefer (and am willing to pay for) actual silver links.
Oberon - k. Next question, about what % of the lanyard do you want to be sterling?
I'm not sure how dense the links are, but I'm thinking roughly two or three silver links per inch.
Oberon - 2-3 links per inch would be roughly 1.5oz of sterling. To cover material costs, I'd have to charge an extra $25, bringing it to $65 total.
I could handle that =)
I'm interested in one as well. Black and Gold or Black and Brass (like my bracelet) whichever you think will work best. This isn't particularly urgent, just figured I'd get my order in early and then leave the rest to you so feel free to take it up at your leisure.
You can expect to be paid in full, just let me know when that needs to happen.
Cheers,
~Quick
I would like a black and light blue one, the light blue being glow-in-the-dark please!
Thanks and sorry for the late order! I would love to rock this thing at Sakura-con if possible!
I like that green, but I think I like the orange better than the gold or bronze. What would that'n run me?
PS: I am Doxy.
I would like to get one please. black and white and striped please. Thank you...please :p
Doxy - half Ti half Aluminum would run you at $50.
You talked me into it. With the orange.
How would red and gold look? I trust your keen sense of maille fashion & general awesomeness.
Tajah: It would look like Gryffindor. gold gold or aluminum gold?
Aluminum gold =) Yay! So excited! No big rush. I can get payment to you towards the end of the month - just let me know!
Hola Liger, I'd totally be down for a solid red lanyard if I could.
