Made a change to the strap for the i-cord leash pattern I've been working on. I've been having fun with these as a thing I can quickly throw together in 90 minutes at a bar. It's cheaper to make than a beer too!
The previous version was just a plain i-cord, which felt more stretchy than I was really wanting. Felt alright for more contained spaces, and I love the way it holds for walks. The lack of control from a hard stop felt slightly weird in case a rogue squirrel came by or something though.
This one has a pair of nylon strings going down the middle of the cord. The strings are normally completely hidden, but have them pulled out a bit in one spot here. They're anchored to another d-ring inside the handle knot, and the lead. Takes only a few minutes to weave in, and does wonders for the feel.
The strings are sized longer than the cord they're inside, so it gives a nice 6-12 inches of stretch before going totally rigid
