Neck lines and Tug lines

I spent Sunday (slowly) making necklines and tug lines for the dogs. A neckline attaches the dogs collar to the gangline (the big rope that goes down the middle and connects all the dogs together) and a tug line is where the dogs actually pull from and connects the back of their harness to the gangline. 

To make the lines first you need to cut the rope to size and then burn the ends so they don't fray and to make it easier to pull them through. 

Then to make the loop where the clips go , you put one end of the rope through the other and then put that end through the other one to lock it, then put the excess Into the middle of the rope to hide it.  Casie has a board with nails in it that helps you measure how long the line needs to be and how big the loops need to be. 

I got all the tug lines done but still need to do the necklines....
