Flynn’s party including crafting paracord bracelets | To help explain the techniques, we had the same knots done with larger ropes | Contrasting rope colors helped illustrate the knots | Not that it’s terribly hard to learn…the basic bracelet is just a repeating square knot, a standard macrame technique | A bit more complicated is the pajama knot, used for the optional buckle-free design | When tightened, it forms a nice button that can be secured in a loop |
The party was at the pavilion at Anderson Park, in Redmond | The table’s all set up with the illustrations, and of course the paracord options for everyone to pick from | Pizza is a nice time-saver for lunch | Kelly keeps an eye on Dominick, while our friend Andy looks on | The kids also enjoyed a rousing game of Capture the Flag | Lots of running around ☺ |
