Exploring spool knitting for lanyards...
I tried out a different braid for this lanyard, also have seen it called an icord. Photo shows it used as a pocket watch lanyard/fob.
I used 'Type I' paracord and I like how it turned out considering it's the first one I've made like this.
I used a knitting tool, sometimes called a corker or knitting spool, and it can go by several other names from various sources.,
An example of a spool that I used is similar to this one, and another of one being used ia shown here, but I only used three pegs/prongs/nails.
...and some others done in glow-in-the-dark cord from 'CoolGlowStuff!'.
Very cool items my man!
ReplyDeleteI'd like to buy a couple things and then learn how to do it.
I remember making key chain things out of plastic back in the 60's...same idea?
Thanks for the visit.
