Also added a short tan paracord fingerloop fob with an extended two-strand diamond knot(ABoK #782), and some west country whipping near the split ring attachment.
Also tied a navy blue paracord bracelet with some orange tether cord added in. It looks like a Stitched Solomon Bar, but wasn't tied that way, instead tying a basic paracord bracelet, with a 3/8" flat side release buckle, then I went back and added the tether cord, using a Perma-Lok lacing needle to run the cord over/under the center strands first in one direction, then back in the other direction.
The lights are resting on a paracord Carrick Mat, which servers as a drink coaster, and also a place for keys/lights/knives/multitools, so they don't scratch up a desktop/dresser/nightstand...
Have another one Stormdrane on ABOK #782 how would I go about extending it? If I,am looking at it in the book it shows going around the outside and then out so do I just make another turn? Yours is so perfect, even when I,am doing just a single it looks as in the picture but yours is so uniformed. Is there something about tightening it up that I,am just missing? Thanks Stormdrane always appreciate you Scot
ReplyDelete@Scot, Yes, with the ABoK#782 you make more turns around the outside of the knot to 'extend' it, however many you want, then run the ends up through the top of the loops.
ReplyDeleteYou have to carefully and gradually work the knot tight to get it to come out right. I don't always get them on the first try, and have to untie it and do it over sometimes until it looks the way it should, lol. :)
I also have problems with correct tying this knot. Stormdrane perhaps you could do video, how to tie this extended versions of ABOK #782.With the greeting Marcin from Poland.
