I have been able to branch from the usual bracelet making to focus on trying to make some different kinds of product. One of those I haven’t visited since I first started knotting about 4 years ago. Since I have been trying to learn the Turks Head and its many, many variants this is a great project to add numerous Turks Heads.
The aquatica/electric blue and the neon yellow/kelly green color leashes are six feet in length, while the scorpion/khaki colored leash measures about four and a half feet. The base for each of them is a four strand round diamond braid. The electric blue and khaki leash handle transition is a four strand plait terminated by a 10P8B 2 pass gaucho knot. The handle of the kelly green leash has a 3B21P two pass Turks Head, 3P5B base 2 pass Spanish ring knot, and a 5P4B three pass Turks Head. A 10P8B Herringbone knot adorns the bolt/leash transition for the khaki leash.
I would like to do a dog leash that is made from an 8 strand round braid body, or maybe an eight strand gaucho braid. But with starting back to college, I don’t have as much time. Till then enjoy the ideas and photos. Thanks for reading my blog.
