I'm in love with these, and I've been meaning to make one for myself for weeks now. I wish this weekend would be the weekend it happens, but I have a terrible feeling I won't be able to squeeze out even the half hour I'd need. I love that these would have a little stretch to them, so they'd give and move with you much better than a leather belt.
I would suggest a couple of small changes though. First, when you are preparing your knit strips, I would attach them to the D rings before starting to braid. You'll get a smoother attachment that way, without such a thick lump. Then you can just park the D rings with fabric attached under your weighted object and braid away. The second thing I would adjust would be to add a small piece of the same fabric to finish the end, by just wrapping it around the stitched bits where the braiding is all secured. It'll make a more professional finish, I think.
Can't wait to try this out for myself! Wish me luck that I can get to it this weekend.
