Then another son saw the paracord and asked for a survival bracelet. I have always made fidgety stuff, I make lots of 4 strand braids, knit compulsively, and have made baskets. The YouTube demos have revived my previously frustrated attempts at knotting.

I went back a month or 2 ago through your beginning [first 6-12mos worth] entries and found the entry for the double monkey fist. I now tie them for bookmarks. :) 3/4" for the centers for hardcovers and 1/2" marbles for centers for paperbacks. I've discovered a recent good source for marbles by the way. you can get a 150ct box for $5 a box at walmart. about 136 of which are 1/2" the rest are "shooters" 3/4 or 1". I think one of them is a 1 and1/4" inch. I also started using the double fist for keychains. tie one with a 1/2" marble..then slide 3-4 nuts down over the paracord then tie another 1/2" fist. tighten up so the fists are both up tight on the nuts. comes out nice. Probably look better with the nuts painted with some model paint though.Da Curly Wolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07631427436506831892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17884734.post-56952051303657856862010-12-11T11:28:55.382-05:002010-12-11T11:28:55.382-05:00For us beginners, found these instructions at Inst...For us beginners, found these instructions at Instructables.com very quickly by searching on 'four strand round braid' - http://www.instructables.com/id/How-To-Make-a-Four-Strand-Braided-Leash-From-Parac/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17884734.post-18648863545858214442010-12-10T19:06:53.056-05:002010-12-10T19:06:53.056-05:00@Robert, I did not do a blog post on the paracord ...@Robert, I did not do a blog post on the paracord version. Someone on <a href="http://edcforums.com/showthread.php/39217-Lanyards-galore!-Post-questions-designs-pics-etc.?p=809612&viewfull=1#post809612" rel="nofollow">EDC Forums</a> had asked me what knots to use after seeing a similar one, and I just gave a guess from the photo they supplied.<br /><br />It's just starting with two 6 foot lengths of cord,looping the centers of the cord onto a snap hook, tying a four strand round braid(diamond/spiral braid), then a crown sinnet at the end of the braid for an attachment(clip, split ring, carabiner, etc).<br /><br />Then crown sinnets back up over the braid, which is similar to how knotted boat fenders are tied. <br /><br />And a crown and wall knot(completion stitch) to finish, tucking the ends back into the knot.Stormdranehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04291715625908183030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17884734.post-59100248951834512212010-12-10T18:52:46.907-05:002010-12-10T18:52:46.907-05:00Mr. Drane-

I've been reading your blog for several months and I just wanted to tell you how grateful I am for your help in furthering my knot tying addiction. It doesn't hurt that you seem to be a genuinely good guy- Somebody I could trust to watch my back. Just glad you are back and not in the slam ;-)<br />GrumpyphilAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17884734.post-88032398933088386272010-12-10T16:55:24.201-05:002010-12-10T16:55:24.201-05:00Love the design!
