It is very similar to how industrial knitting is done. A row of loops is pulled through the row beneath it. It goes a bit quicker than the viking knitting, since you don't have to thread the end of the wire through each loop.
The trade off is that the wire has to be formed prior to looping it. The wire needs to be wrapped around three nails on a board, over and over.
You can see from this starter piece that it looks pretty different from viking knitting. I will take some more pics of a completed length for comparison when I've got it done.
Also,
I made another herring bone weave piece to practice and to better show its construction.
Heres a shot from the side
Heres one from the back and one from the front.

The herringbone weave is sweet - very cool.
