Firstly, why presume to have an ends-joint knot?
–which offers a conceivable safety hazard of the . . .
ends (tails) !?
Why not something continuous, endLESS, such as
ABoK’s #525, opened out into symmetric niceness
(what I call “symmetric Fig.9”?
And vis-a-vis this, why not MULTIPLE such knots?
(2, 3, … )
IMO, the knot should look much the same from
either side of a vertical plane of view.
“Ashley’s bend” #1452, with the would-be-tails
connected as a rising (or dropping) eye could
be nice.
