This pen has been in progress for a while. It began as 24 strands of thread (18 white and 6 red) woven around a tube in a pattern called "coachwhipping". It looks a lot like braided rope, because the weave pattern is actually the same as "diamond" or "maypole" braid. For those of you familiar with braided line, I chose the color scheme to mimic StaSet.
I'm not entirely happy with the way this one turned out, and the coachwipping was a lot of work (it's a challenge to keep the strands straight while tying), so it will be a while before I make another one.
Anyway, I hope you like it,
Eric
