Two Tone Spool Knit Neck Lanyard

A good friends girlfriend is graduating college soon. Her new career will require I.D. cards. I decided to make her this as a graduation present. It's a 34" Spool Knit made in maroon and tan MicroCord (1.18mm). I doubled it over to form a loop and wove one end through the other and started a 4 strand crown and topped it with a lanyard knot. Another 4 strand lanyard not was then ran back through with two cords to form a loop. A simple gate clip was the attached using the loop made to make a Larks Head to secure it. I hope you enjoy it and thanks for looking as always.

Two Tone Turk and Single Strand Lanyard

I'd gotten my girlfriend a Ultra Fire flashlight for her purse some time ago. The problem being every time we need it in any hurry its lost in the "abyss" as I like to call it hahahah. In response to this problem I decided to fashion a lanyard for it that could be clipped to a shoulder strap ring. The result is 4 bight Turks head in orange and pink and a single strand lanyard. The lanyard is comprised of two #583 knots from the ABOK and a One Cord Knot #586 in the ABOK. I also added to sliding crowns in pink to tie it all together. Thanks for looking as always and I hope you enjoy my work. Oh one last thing, I'd like to thank my lone follower Elaine :)

Duracell Daylite Turk'd & Guacho'd

I have had this tied up since way back when I started following StormDrane. I found his YouTube video on how to tie gaucho's very informative and easy to follow. This as I said is a Duracell Daylite, it's a 80 lumen flashlight that is VERY bright for its size and price point, I think I paid 28 bucks at Wally World. I would have shown you but after 4 years my end cap has failed and I am currently waiting on the mail for the replacement. I tied a 4B16L Turks over the majority of it. If you've tried these and failed don't give up. This particular Turk was tied and untied at least 5 times before it looked as uniform as I wanted. The Gaucho Knot came a little easier to me after all the time spent learning the Turk, I decided to put two on in opposite directions to fill the space left . Like I said if you'd like to learn before you buy the Ashley Book, you most likely will. Once knotting sets it hook in ya like it did me, go check out StormDrane's blog and YouTube channel. Also give J.D. of TIAT on YouTube a gander, he is a master of the rope craft and someone we can all aspire to. As always thanks for looking and I hope you enjoy it.

Gerber Shard Knife Lanyard

I picked up a Gerber Shard with a recent Amazon order. I think it was five dollars, which for four compact tools isn't half bad. I like the one StormDrane gaucho'd, but wanted to have a bit more MicroCord on it. I ended up getting about five feet packed on it, lashing one direction then the other. I attached it to my Ka-Bar Dozier with a FootRope Knot looped backed on itself and worked through the knot. This actually worked out well as you can hold the two with the shard on top and get a bit more leverage. Hope you enjoy it and thanks for looking as always.

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.
