Cane retention...

The first knot work that I added to this cane included a gaucho interweave knot and single strand star knot with an adjustable wrist loop, all done with a single continuous strand of paracord.

But, after I later started adding more knots to the cane I cut off the wrist loop section from the first knot and have regretted doing that since.

So, I found a scrap length of paracord in my gadget drawer and tied a Spanish ring knot, extending one of the bights to serve as a wrist lanyard.

I use my cane almost every time I leave the house nowadays, and having a wrist loop for retention lets me let go of the cane if I need to for a moment without dropping it or having to set it down.

And it's done in camo green colored paracord, for today is St. Patrick's Day!  ;)
