Gaucho and Spanish ring knots added to the Nebo pen, with black 0.9mm and red Atwood micro cord.
The red cord is not the usual thin flat cord that Atwood produces in the 1.18 micro size, but a firm round version. Although it's shown on the Atwood Rope Mfg pages, there's no telling which version you might end up receiving if you order it...

I uploaded two photos showing both sides of the knot, which look the same. I finish the ends of the paracord by pulling out about 1/4" worth of the inner strands, trim those with scissors, pull the outer sheath back down, then a quick heating/melting of each end with my lighter and crimping flat with my hemostats.

UCO Clarus lantern with knot work. I'm still using up the spool of orange tether cord that County Comm sent me a few years ago, sparingly choosing projects to use it on like this 7 lead 6 bight doubled Turk's head knot around the switch/battery cap of the lantern.

Using up left over SurvivorCord that Titan paracord sent me to test out. stormdrane.blogspot.com/2015/10/more-survivorcord.html
I'd bought a couple more Gerber Shards which arrived in the mail today, and have already tied a red and black gaucho knot on one of them with 0.9mm cord. The red looks a little faded after working and tightening up the knot, so I touched it up with a Sharpie marker. amzn.to/2cFFjUX

Had to post this as although pic is a bit rubbish – it was a funny experience
I had taken my dad to rodley nature reserve for the first time and i was really hoping to see a heron to show him. I spotted one with his back to us, hunched over on an island in the middle of the lake! Not great!
Then i spotted this guy swooping in and what happened was that he flew in, and had just landed when another heron jumped out the bush – causing the first one to do this ballerina-esk style pose before flying off! He’d obviously landed in another heron’s patch!
Anyway i was so busy pointing him out i didn’t have my camera ready and only managed these blurred shots – but the pose was so funny i wanted to post it! And i was kicking myself for not getting them both in a shot!!
PLEASE NO GROUP INVITES OR AWARDS WITH FLASHY BADGES

I bought this Bear & Son Scout knife off ebay a couple of years ago. It has a Mac Tools logo on the main blade, zebra wood handles, and a nice bail for paracord lanyard attachment. Other tools are screwdriver/bottle opener, can opener and awl.
Lanyard bead is a black oxide finish pewter Ona Tiki, that Schmuckatelli Co. sent me a few years ago, added to a wrist lanyard with two-strand wall knot sinnet.
The thermometer hit 94° outside this afternoon, hot around these parts for this time of year. All my EDC gets damp from sweat condensation in my pockets. Wallet, cell phone pouch, keychain pouch, watchband all sitting in front of a fan to dry out, lol... ;)

JD of Tying It All Together put up a YouTube video tutorial for tying the 'Stitched Solomon Bar'. I just added a 5/8" side release buckle and used a single strand of paracord when tying mine.
The knot is just a simple variation of the common cobra stitch/Solomon bar/Portuguese sinnet/square knotting type macrame bracelets.

Schmuckatelli Co. sent me a few more beads to work with, including this Jester skull bead in pewter, which I've added to a toggle knot fob, using 'The Ashley Book of Knots' number 615, based on an 8 lead 3 bight Turk's head knot.

If you don't have a copy of the book to learn from, there are at least a couple of YouTube videos on tying the knot. ;)

On the last day of our conference in Derby, the only way to get to the car was to wade through about 1ft of snow, in bare feet - with trouser legs rolled up! (It wouldn't have been any fun driving nearly 8 hours with wet jeans & feet!)
Grace was the most prepared person there for the conditions! In the back of her 'landy' was a shovel, brush, bedding, mattress, wellingtons & food rations. But of course to get to the shovel and wellingtons she had to get through the snow first of all! I think she was secretly disappointed that we made it home in 7&1/2 hours and DIDN'T have to sleep on the hard shoulder somewhere!
