Hi Derek, hi Skyout,
Receiving your ideas was like getting a birthday present. Thank you!
Derek:
tie an OH in one end
To clarifly for the benefit of anyone who might be following, I think you are saying to tie an OH in a bight at one end.
How simple, fast and elegant! I had tried rethreading an 8 in the bight, and it was way too bulky. Love your OH solution.
But your Matthew Walker solution takes the prize for elegance!
I had looked at MWKs but never tied one.
I wasn’t sure which one to start with: ABOK 801? 1065?
Can’t wait to try your “tracer cord” tip, that sounds grand.
I tried retracing a true lover’s loop, but it didn’t look anywhere as elegant.
Skyout:
Thanks for sending that tutorial through. That is a gorgeous knot, and it does accomplish the purpose. As you guessed, a bit bulky in leather.
Thanks again everyone.
Wishing you all a beautiful week,
Andy
