Celtic Mat

Now this thing was a real pain. This is what happens when I consume coffee at 2 in the morning. It started as a celtic type mat I wanted to make, and i made it out of 2 strands of blue and 1 strand of OD paracord. Strange combo I know but it works. I had alot of spare cord left over so i decided to do away with it with an infantry braid at the top and i hung it on a doorknob, I thought it looked too bare so I looked up another knot called the masthead knot, and I kinda messed it up a little and added another bend to one side to make it a little more symmetrical. I liked the way it looked on the mat instead of as a necklace as i originally intended. Having that in mind, I attached it to the mat and ran the spare cord around it in a random line style inspired by a transmutation circle I saw once (Full Metal Alchemist fans, yes you read that right). I loved the way it looks so i now have it hanging on my doorknob, as kind of a lucky charm. Sorry I dont remember how much cord I used, but it was more than i'd like to admit
