Dear Friends,
I forgot to say earlier that this knot is extremely useful in day to
day tasks. Because of the extra turn on the first part, that part
will never slip, and as such is ideal for tying parcels (where you no
longer have to find another person to "put your finger on it"), and
also if you do this extra turn when tying children's shoelaces (if
they still have them) even if the bow comes undone, the initial twist
will hold.
David in Ballarat - really going to bed this time!!!
So for me the saying from the Boy Scouts or Boys' Brigade goes:-
Right over left and under AND UNDER again
Left over right and under.
Then to make absolutely certain, I usually add a further:-
Right over left and under.
David in Ballarat - off to bed now at 0250hrs. At least there's no
frost tonight.
