I've received lots of requests for links to some sources of the skull beads I've used and there are many possible online sources, including ebay, and some customs found on various forums, but here are a few links to some popular ones:

Two color monkey's fist...

Toxic green and black monkey fist with a doubled lanyard knot and hangman's noose. a 1" wooden ball was used for the monkey fist's center. It's made the same way as a regular monkey fist except you're using two strands. Just go slow and keep the lines from getting tangled as you go.

Small monkey fist(small marble for center) with a hangman's noose made from 1/16" utility cord.

I made this lanyard with shockcord and a swivel clip, with a cobra stitch done in black/olive drab utility cord over the shockcord. I can clip it to a belt loop and let it hand down inside my pocket or use the knife's pocket clip and the lanyard will help prevent loss. The lanyard can also be clipped to itself for use as a wriststrap and the shockcord allows a good bit of stretch to fit any wrist.

Ashley Book of Knots

I bought a copy of the 'Ashley Book of Knots', for my birthday, from Amazon.com.  Some consider it the knot tyer's bible.  One of my sisters gave me a gift certificate, so that brought the book into a more affordable range for me.

The book is huge at 640 pages, 3900 different knots, and 7000 illustrations, although a lot of duplicates in some of those knots, as I've been told by other knot tying friends that are more familiar with the book. It simply reminds me that I'm still just an amateur at knot work and there's always more to learn for those that want to.  :)
