    Surprisingly enough, that does make sense. I read it quickly and it did not a first but read slowly picturing what you were doing and I understood.

    Another question, does tension on the yarn give a tighter weave or does it matter?

    I haven't experimented that much, but as you are knitting you (I) tend to pull the yarn tight as I go. The spacing of the pegs pretty much defines the finished tightness of the strap part.

    The links to the tutorial videos that I posted above are pretty good also.
