Hello all,

I'm a peace-lovin' urban hippie who is sinfully living with a traditional archer/survivalist/hunter. You would think we wouldn't have much in common, but ha-haaaa -- our interests dovetail in making stuff from natural materials. I used to make hemp jewellry, and now I've found much more interesting things to make with my knotting ways.

I've braided/knotted (i like mixing it up) our first sling based on designs I saw here (awww... bay split pouch) and perhaps we can take the time to test it out tonight with some tennis balls at the baseball diamond. I've always thought slings were cool, and even tried making them when I was young, but I had no resources and no clue how to do it right back then. I hit myself a lot with my contraptions. Hopefully with all the expert info here I can change that.

Next up... more slings, maybe some bolas and, when I un-rust my knotting skillz, sandals.

It's a pleasure to meet all of you.

Knotty.

Good to have you here Knotty...

I was an unsuccessful slinger while young and now that I'm older I'm still unsuccessful; but on a much higher level of craft... I'm here for the fiber and knot wisdom.

Square knots over a core of twine makes an excellent split pouch. Like making a friendship blacelet.
