Now some of the others there were sporting lanyards. Yes you know the one, Patti Duff's pattern here. There were plain ones, and multi coloured ones, all with plain beads. When I got home I decided to hunt for the pattern (well, I knew I had it because I'd downloaded it to my laptop), and then grabbed a HUGE shuttle (this one).
A while back I'd been fortunate enough to get a load of beads from a local shop, in holders... and they were the right size!! But... not enough of any colour, so I did a 'rainbow effect' lanyard. Want to see it??

The thread was an odd ball of Coats 20 which I've had for a while, and the whatsits to go on it are simple...
Tatting hook, picot gauges, snips (because I'd stab me with scissors!!), and a pair of 'Uncle Bill's Sliver Grippers', useful for undoing tight knots along with a 'third hand', (hackle pliers), more commonly found in fishing tackle, and used for tying flies. At the bottom, I decided to put a holder...
Tell you what. I'll show you:
