This is a pic of another mat I made for my wife. She wanted one a little bigger than the first one I made. As you can see I made 7 passes on this ocean plait. Same rope I used on the first one. I bought it at Lowes. I believe it was 1/2 " .
Picture of some key fobs done in a snake knot. I also tied a lanyard knot at the beginning and the end of these also. It seems easier to use two colors this way.

This is a neck lanyard I made for a friend of mine. He got for a buddy of his to use for a whistle. I used a flat 3/8" breakaway clip that I ordered from www.countrybrookdesign.com
This is a snake knot key fob. I tied a lanyard knot at the beginning and the end. Tying the lanyard knot allowed me to use 2 colors.

As most people know by now knot tying is an addiction. The handle on my thermos broke so I decided to make one. It tuned out pretty good and looks nice. It took me awhile on this one. I used close to 100' of paracord and probably 4 1/2 hrs to complete.
This is one of the ends for the reigns.
This is a set of reigns for a friends horse. They are about 8' long and I put the quick connectors on the ends. I did a diamond back braid and added a couple of lanyard knots.
