3 Peg Spool Knit Wrist Lanyard in MicroCord

This is probably the third or fourth 3 peg spool knit I've tried. Initially I was using craft twine and kept ending up with loose bights. I tried in MicroCord this time and asked the gracious StormDrane what his trick was to uniformity because this plagued my other attempts. He explained to me that he tightened the bights every three pegs. Where a I was doing tightening every peg which was causing different tension on different bights. His advice definitely solved my problem and I am thrilled with how this has turned out. I finished this lanyard with three True Lover's Knots(ABOK#2421) and attached it to the lobster snap with opposite direction hitches. Go to StormDrane's blog see see more of his great work. Hope you enjoy my work and thanks for looking as always :)

7 Strand Crown Knot USB Fob

In my last rope order I got some MicroCord(1.18mm) to play with. I decided to start experimenting with higher lead crown knots. The result even with seven strands was quite small but great looking in my opinion. Hope you enjoy and thanks for looking as always :)

3 Color ParaCord Cross (Bladder Cancer Awareness)

After seeing a my mothers keychain at the corner store a woman working there asked her if I could make a purple, gold and blue cross for her. I found this out last night and went to trying to make one. Started out like the ParaCord Cross from J.D. Of TIAT demonstrated on his YouTube channel and added a third cord. Then began creating two hexagonal sinnets as the left and right arm as he showed and followed his instruction afterward including the third color. Hope you enjoy thanks for looking as always.
