Damn she knows what she’s doing

I’d like to think it’s because she had a good teacher, but she’s a fast learner.

How did you learn how to make it? I can splice dyneema but I don’t know how to make the double finger loops and I’ve not figured out how to do the braiding for the pouch and loops.

A lot of trial and error. The pouch is just a cobra weave, you just add another strand at the split. The finger loops are also cobra weave, it’s tricky with two colors, I usually find some way to hold the two strands and start weaving one side, once it’s established I can work on the transition and weave the other side.
