Question
Hi,
I make jewelry using hemp rope. I have learned several different methods to braiding them.
Here is my question:
I would like to learn how to make things such as change purses, toe rings, etc. Do you know of any sites that offer useful help for this?
Thank you!

Answer
Dear Trevor - This is not my expertise, but I have found some sites which may help you.  My best advice would be the Knotting Guild, (second below/Yahoo).  They could probably help you find more specific links.  I hope this helps.  Nanetta
