is this feasible, or nay. [➰️ hawser bowline | winding | steps | variants] here the working end will double up, and be winched onto the s.part, i think; forms u-turns, or an s-shape? the third example might need a bit of babysitting while tying it, but fun to watch if nothing else …

myrtle knot folded into shape by constrictor knot. maybe like the hawser bowline, the w.end can be brought around an object then tucked through the constrictor knot, and tightened into shape by pulling the standing end. the action of the constrictor knot seems to tie eac…

alana, very nice good work. I like it. :+1: alanleeknots.

[1000035366] :man_raising_hand: how would this knot be named? could it be called a ‘Lark’s Head quasi anti bowline’? need some help with naming/ classification. because it’s not really a Lark’s Head action, only an appearance

Thanks alana, this is a rather strange, yet very interesting “bwl” approach that calls for further investigation and analysis. I could not agree more with your previous statement that your returning structure is not actually a lark’s head, even though it looks like one. For your information, the l…

the ‘bend’ version of this Left Hand Bowline with U Lock, • 1st rope marlinspike hitch; • S.Part segment out and to crossing point side [R.H.S]; • 2nd rope from the crossing point side, O,U,O, and downwards, alongside itself tail gets a bit long on the 1st rope? i t…

[1000036220] i now see that the • marlinspike segment pulled to bight side (to L), • W.End tucked from R, • tail pointed to inside eye is Siriuso’s Mocha Loop knot! (2018) (yes?), describing the folding action of the marlinspike hitch as like the closing of a book [image] …

another tucking route through the (pre-)Slip Knot [1000036213] … a Locked Carrick Loop eye knot

Hi Alana The Mocha Loop Knot was mentioned in “My New Knots” on 9.11.2018 in the old forum. It was posted in KM143 June 2019. Happy Knotting yChan
