The wooden hook that Slat made? My wife saw that picture, and said it's a crochet hook. So, I asked if she has a big crochet hook like that (she's a textile hobbyist). She didn't think so, but she inherited my grandmas stuff, and there were several large ones, one that looked like it had the hook about the size of paracord. So I grabbed a few, and now I'm starting to knot a belt.

But this brings up an unsettling question- is this crocheting? If not, maybe I should ask my wife how to crochet, perhaps that would be a better way of doing this.
