I think something larger, like a ditty bag, would probably be more problematic though. <br /><br />You'd really have to secure the individual hitches in place, like with needle in thread, to keep them from being pulled, worked, or sliding out of place.<br /><br />You'd be better off doing a net type of knot work, for a ditty bag or larger like a sleeping bag stuff sack, with knots keeping the shape intact.Stormdranehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04291715625908183030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17884734.post-35246938902923879822010-06-15T22:03:06.225-04:002010-06-15T22:03:06.225-04:00Love the blog, Sd!

The smaller hitches made on the can koozie use up a lot of cord, so I'd make the hitches larger and spaced out more around a Nalgene.<br /><br />You might try using a 10 foot length of paracord first, and see how much space that will cover. Then use that amount to multiply/figure how much you need to cover the rest of the bottle and around the bottom to finish...Stormdranehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04291715625908183030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17884734.post-37078632896086429342010-04-23T11:08:21.860-04:002010-04-23T11:08:21.860-04:00Howdy,

I tie onto that cord with an overhand knot and start hitching. You can further secure the start knot with sewing, melting, or a drop of super glue.<br /><br />Finishing is done by continuing the hitching around the bottom of the can, and the hitches will spiral towards the center, like shown <a href="http://svenska.yle.fi/matochfritid/hobbyartikel.php?id=810" rel="nofollow">in this link</a>. You can skip to hitching every other loop. When you reach the center, just sew, melt, or super glue the end in place. I usually just run a needle and thread back and forth through the end several times.Stormdranehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04291715625908183030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17884734.post-18578453158375068282010-02-22T10:41:33.487-05:002010-02-22T10:41:33.487-05:00Hallo.

There are many others, but the Supply Captain is always at the top of my list.<br /><br />Most of the knot books I've seen don't have much in the way of 'start to finish' type projects in them. There are exceptions, like Des Pawson's 'Knot Craft'. <br /><br />You can learn the knots and techniques and figure out how to combine them and apply them to make something useful. You're much more likely to find tutorials/info or learn from the online knot tying community on various forums like KHWW.net.<br /><br />Buckles, swivel clips, snap hooks, cord locks, etc.. can be found on ebay, Lighthound.com, Creative Designworks, County Comm, TAD Gear, along with a few other sources in my 'Links List' and mentioned through some blog posts.Stormdranehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04291715625908183030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17884734.post-59735725567384611082009-12-17T23:23:29.453-05:002009-12-17T23:23:29.453-05:00You might try the snake knot lanyard tutorial, for...You might try the <a href="http://www.instructables.com/id/Paracord-wrist-lanyard-made-with-the-snake-knot/" rel="nofollow">snake knot lanyard tutorial</a>, for a camera strap.
