Base is done

I've been taking a break for a few days, as all that braiding was hard on my fingers, pulling hard to get it tight (I might finish it today, or maybe just start sewing the pouch it it and such). And my fingers were doing this thing that they do, not sure if I'm double jointed, but they sometimes bend weird and when they do that too much it doesn't feel great, I can make them do that purposefully too, but when they are under a lot of force while im doing something intricate like braiding they do it on their own. It's hard to explain in words what it looks like, so if your interested I can post a picture. But when I show it to some people they get a bit squeamish, so you have been warned.

My left hand fingers sometime cramp when I braid or process fiber. My fingers assume some outrageous and painful positions   Pics might be fun

When doing stuff like braiding hard for a while the knuckle in the middle of my finger will move far down. And if that happens too much, it makes my fingers not feel too great.

Looks like you have something a whole lot more serious than braiding cramps

Progress... slowly but surely.
