So I have been messing about *a lot* with fingerloop braiding. Honestly, once you get started with this stuff, it is sort of an obsession. I have gone through every pattern available for one person on
this site and have totally fallen in love with the
chevron pattern:
1) It's Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy!;
2) It goes super fast (unlike
this beast - which is pretty but tiiiime consuming);
3) It can be done up in a variation with multiple colors that super pretty trim (I'll post photos, promise);
Plus, by using a couple of paired bit of chevron fingerlooping and a bit of stitchery down the middle, I changed my garters from this:

To this:

The husband is thinking of getting into casting again now that he has his forge set up. There is talk of me producing these (and the buckles) for resale at events. Could be fun!
