Looks like you braided the tag end back into the string.  Makes a nice line.

Looks like you married white string to color and color string to white.

Don't think that I see where tag end was braided.

I like the color choice. And yours has no "frays" showing. Cool looking string there I'd say! Well done.

Looks good from here.  I've seen several done like that, and have done it myself.  I usually put the constrasting strands of a padded loop in the opposite bundles for a similar effect.

When he marries the tag ends into the main bundles, instead of putting the white with white and maroon with maroon, he did the opposite--changes up the regular "barber pole" look.

But you must do a couple or three "conventional" twists, then start your red/white combo.  Otherwise, the loop will be loose where it first comes together.

That looks like one of those strings with the adustable loops to me.  I bought a couple at the Kalamazoo show.
