I recently bought a copy of Ian "Professor Shoelace" Fieggen's book,
'Laces' from amazon.com, and applied one of the lacing variation patterns in his book to a
paracord bracelet.
For the example I show here, I followed a 10 eyelet
lattice lacing pattern, and used the spaces on each side of a basic Solomon bar/Portuguese sinnet/cobra stitch bracelet as improvised 'eyelets'
. I worked the orange 0.9mm cord, using a pair of small
Perma-Lok lacing needles, to go over, under, and around an already tied olive drab paracord bracelet to make the design.
The book, and Ian's site, have a lot of patterns to explore, not just to "pimp your kicks", but to play around with other possibilities...
Ian's Shoelace Site has been in my blog's links list for a long time, and for many, tying shoelaces may have been their first introduction to knot work, so I've found the site to be worth a visit. ;)
