Boots of Spanish Leather

"Done!" Gossamer chirped as she showed off her work to the fox. Ásta nodded her approval. "Ok, good work. Next we need to thread the lacing through. Let me get it started and then I'll show you how to criss cross it."

Gossamer nodded and watched as Ásta threaded the leather strand straight through the bottom two holes and then started crisscrossing it up the leg. Gossamer took hold of the leather strand and then started crisscrossing it through every other hole to form an x pattern. Once she got to the top Ásta showed her how to tie a little knot in each end so that the strand wouldn't slip out so easily. Ásta helped her put it on and test it and between the two of them they got it tied.
