Did this one last night on my Mel Pardue Benchmade. I ran the white up the middle and the red/ blue on the outside. The red has glow in the dark in it. I thought this would be fitting for the Veteran's Day holiday today in the United States.

Finally got round to making myself a new watch strap today - I was given the cord and lugs for Christmas. (Sorry about the slightly blurry image, too busy celebrating to take a proper one!)

Made a new bracelet (bright red and camo pink) for my 10yr old as the pink cobra bracelet no longer fits her.

Two-strand stopper knots(ABoK #778) paracord fob, with a cross shield bead.



And what the knot looks like from top/bottom with two strands going in and coming out the center of the knot...

Say, is there a fairly easy way of wrapping paracord around a stave without it gaining gaps when used later?

Tried stretching it out, keeping tension, even added some shoe goo to the ends. A week later there's almost a full turn of gap appeared.  :ahhh



Like to keep a loop up top for use with hands, with or without gloves. And keep my hand from slipping off on bad ground. Am in no way shape or form adept in weaving.

Did you see the post I made in the "Let's see those lanyard charms, trinkets and dangley bits!!!" thread? I think this is what you're referring to:

*edit- Those beads are a great deal at $.99!¡!

Guess I might try putting a weight on it, then using a large piece of metal to tamp it against the next line and try again. it is not a big deal but I can feel the looseness in the grip - can twist it both ways.

That cross bead would look great on the loop bottom too.

Temped to see where to get a lanyard made for my

Might make it easier to hang onto with a 3 inch tail.

You should wait for Stormdrane to come by; if anyone, he should have a good idea or two. Off the top of my head, if you intend on using a simple wrap around your stick, then look into adding some binding knot (e.g., prussian, constrictor, etc.) to start and end the weave. IMO the best would be to use an actual weave for the wrap; for example, something like this should work, if you can spare the time:
