I needed to work on a couple things on my boat, and a lot of the rigging had been done with pretty nice splices and tapering and whatnot so I wanted to improve my skills and learn more about ropework in general. This was my first attempt at a soft shackle. I used 1/4" amsteel 12 strand dyneema. Nice stuff, size was chosen for the simple reason it was all I could grab from West Marine the day I stopped by. I used a pretty nice tutorial from this site.
This is it, almost done. All that was left to be done was finish the knot by working the two ends tight and then trimming them.
Bonus Section!
Some other random stuff. Couple loops, some whipping.
