Hi All,
I got a new little sling creation I wanna share with you!
This was the product of me fiddling around with reef knots and cat's paw knots.
This is a very very extended cat's paw knot.
I also am curious if anybody has already made a sling like this!!! If not, then I would like to name it the Cat's paw sling!
I'll probably make a more refined model soon but I had to share the concept
With you. It's easy and tight and took about ten minutes tops and that was the first time with all the fiddling
