Got Paracord?

That's the problem I have with that stitch Ryan. Although I have found that it gets better with each one that I do.

Stromdrane might vaguely recognise this design

And bloomin confusing when using two strands like that!

It is an interesting one though, looks quite decorative too

If you could get that ball at the end and braid the ones at the bottom together would make a nice key fob

Yeah i've been trying to figure out how to get it at the end, gonna take a bit of thinking about....but it should be possible....i think!

I think I've seen a Monkey's Fist using two colours, although I have no clue how they did it.

I can do the monkey's fist in one colour easy enough :

Monkey fists are cool

Haven't done one in a while though.....and don't think i'm going to attempt a two coloured one!! How would that even work!?!

DaveK · **Reply #167 on:** February 25, 2009, 12:35:18 AM

Well that's what I was trying to figure out (without success so far). I'm beginning to wonder if I just imagined it

Anyhoo - your knot... Having 4 strands there offers plenty of potential doesn't it?

It certainly does have potential, it's just trying to figure out how to unlock it! Cos i'd want the loose ends of the strands to be "inside" the knot but...........literally mid sentence i might have figured out how to do this..... i'm really wanting to give this a go but my fingers are knackered so it's gonna have to be tomorrow

We shall see what comes of it

DaveK · **Reply #169 on:** February 25, 2009, 12:40:36 AM

Looking forward to it!

Having got a bit of cord in anticipation of the UK meet-up, I thought I might try a knot or two. Very basic compared to most of the stuff here but it has been fun.

DaveK · **Reply #171 on:** February 25, 2009, 01:18:04 AM

They look great Gareth. Before long everything in your house will have some form of paracord appendage

Quite a few things do already.

I enjoy tying knots, but I never did much other than tie them and untie them.. and mostly in work or gardening situations.

I did make this though.. actually my second one:

My knotwork isn't as precise as it could be in terms of "prettiness" but it wears comfortably and I get better each time. This one contains about 18' of paracord in a double cobra stitch with a 1" buckle.

It was fun to make, and much easier than the first one. It is a nearly mindless process once you get started, and that is refreshing for a change.

Looks great!

I must get some paracord and learn how to do this stuff, it looks great

Gareth · **Reply #178 on:** February 27, 2009, 09:37:11 AM

Looks good to me.

glorn · **Reply #179 on:** February 27, 2009, 07:58:43 PM

Thanks guys!

Stormdrane... I couldn't have done it without your instructions. Thanks for all your help!
