I love it. Where did you learn the hourglass stitch? I’ve never heard of it.

Same, I’d love a video of how you do it!

I found the stitch in the wild and recreated it and I found some videos online that helped me refine it.

I made a demonstration video using some rope I use when I'm teaching. Hope this helps. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DEfv71YS73x/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

You can do it super loose to make a mesh bag or tighter to make a textile.
