Paracord Lanyard Weaving

I'm rather eclectic (to a fault) with my hobbies. It's a blessing and a curse ... really. I'm easily distracted by the "next thing" that happens to grab hold of my interest ... at the time. Last month it was playing the didgeridoo, last week it was lock picking, today it's paracord fob (lanyard) weaving. 

I've gone through this phase of paracord weaving before. Back then it was paracord bracelets. You know, the kind of "survival / tactical" looking bracelet that you can unravel for a length of paracord just in case, for "emergencies". At that time I bought plastic buckles and paracord to make those bracelets. But after making about a dozen bracelets, my phase ran its course and I was done with paracord ... for the moment.

Jump to a few months ago and I was once again bitten by the paracord weaving bug. 

Out of necessity and practicality, none of my hobbies can be very expensive. I doubt I'll ever get into Bass fishing, Off-roading or Golf. Simply beyond my budget. But paracord? It's relatively inexpensive, fun to learn and I find it relaxing and satisfying both in the process and final outcome. 

Below are some examples of knife fobs or lanyards as they are sometimes called. Beyond just an eye catching decoration, they also serve as practical way to extract a folded knife from a pocket. They make for a cool looking craft piece that enhances and personalizes my knives.
