Get Knotted!

I have a small pendant, which I always wear, made of Goldstone.


This is neither gold nor stone but vitrified copper dust, but I liked the colour and picked it up in a shop in Bluewater. The cord has been slowly wearing away, so I got some from Hobbycraft to replace it. The next problem was how to tie the cord.

I found this nice little web site called Animated Knots, which shows you, step-by-step, how to tie knots for almost anything. I've used a Blood Knot (which turned out to be very awkward to tie) to join the ends together,


an Alpine Butterfly to put a loop in the cord,



and a Cow Hitch to attach the pendant to the loop, as you can see in the first picture.
