This is my first post on the forums. I'm overwhelmed by the amount of information available. Thanks to all who post. My first braiding project will be a dog leash (4-strand with a nylon cord core). I've looked at Myriam's tutorial (have it bookmarked and printed out). The question I have has to do with attaching the leash to the snap ring. In Myriam's tutorial, she shows using thread to attach the cord to the snap ring and then start the braid on top of that covering the thread. I've also seen other leashes where the leash goes up through the snap ring and is back-braided (right term?) to form the loop.
Which one is preferable and would the technique be the same as finishing off the leash handle? I have an 11 pound dog, so it probably doesn't make a difference, but with a bigger dog, is only having two strands of lace covering the snap ring a problem?
Thanks in advance.
