how to make a lanyard your buddy does NOT have - 02/21/11 09:17 PM
Here's the video tutorial as requested after I posted this unique lanyard; its for the main knot #790 "four-lead diamond knot" p. 142 of the Ashley Book of knots. I've already done a video showing the two strand diamond knot. If you are successful please post or send me a pic!!

using ashley's instructions, numerous times i tried to tie this knot w/o success.
looked around for other instructions - no success.
kevin posted this link to his video.
took me two tries - success!
doesn't yet look as good as kevin's in a previous post - the pink one - but now it's just a function of dressing the knot.
thank you kevin the paracordist!

thanks for taking the time to provide the feedback; I want to see it when its all purdy!!!
Someone asked if you could work it tight around a small firesteel as an emergency backup (you'd have to cut it out most likely) - but YES, I think that would work nicely.
