    I wanted to show my son how to make these but forgot how to start them. I use to make these all the time 20 years ago but always had a friend start them for me, Your video is amazing and very easy to follow! Thank you!

    In my childhood I use to make lanyards, under 2 & over 1, having either a diamond or spade stitch. The way you grouped your threads determined diamond or spade. Then our playground instructor would do a "box stitch" around the lanyard so you could wear it around your neck. I'm hoping to use this box stitch so it's adjustable.

    Questions: 1) If using wire, still on a spool, what length should each piece be cut to for 6", 7", or 8" of total weave? 2) For those of us brave enough to use precious metal wire, what is the mathematical calculation/formula for figuring out the needed wire lengths? Thanks!
