A day full of Firsts.
This afternoon I did some paracord crafts for the first time, and with it I learned various knots for the first time too.
I made a Woggle for the first time. A Sailor’s Knot/Turk’s Head Knot.
And then went into do a Poppy Keyring. A Sailor’s Knot/Turk’s Head Knot, a Lanyard Knot and a Cobra Lanyard Knot.
Both were kits. Not impressed with the instructions overall, particularly for the woggle. Had to go elsewhere.
