    Made a whoopie sling!

    I had to crow a little. Just finished making a couple of whoopie slings. I purchased two from Arrowhead and had to try to make them myself. Shockingly, it wasn't too difficult, except for figuring out how to get the braid to go over the little wad in the eye of the yarn needle.

    Hope they hold when I try to hang from them.

    Give me a day or two, dudes! It's night here, so some daylight would help. I'll try to post some soon.

    Here's the pic. I didn't finish off the fixed eye as well as I'd like, but it should do fine.
