Granny knot
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The granny knot is a bend knot, used to tie together two loose ends. It looks a lot like the reef knot, or square knot, and is sometimes confused with it. When attempting to tie a reef knot, it can be easy to substitute a granny knot accidentally, but this is dangerous because the latter slips if heavily tested. Once the granny knot is too tightly knit, it is not as easy to undo as the reef knot. It is better to tie a reef knot in nearly all circumstances. One way to distinguish them is that in the reef knot each loop passes completely over, or completely under (not through) the neck of the other.
The reef knot is commonly taught as left over right, tuck under then right over left, tuck under. The granny knot is the first step repeated twice, left over right, tuck under. This is a very common mistake made by people learning to tie a reef knot.
The Zeppelin bend should be used instead of both the granny knot and bend knot, as it is safer.
That didn't help, either...

CAUTION: A granny knot looks a bit like a reef knot, but the bitter ends will be on opposite sides of the bights from the standing parts. Beware of the granny ... she's slippery and can't take a load.

Another name for the Anus. Also reffered to as the Angry Spider in the unfortunate case that the balloon knot is surrounded by hair resembling a spiders legs.

I've actually heard that dental floss can be used in a pinch as a substitute for serving. I just don't wanna spend $25 on a roll of serving if I don't need it all. This archery crap is expensive, and killing my left rotator cuff from a previous injury many years ago. I love it.

I pretty much got my answer, so you can all continue to hijack this thread into something more interesting than how to tie a knot with rope, lol. I've yet to have a thread of the week... [giddy] Maybe this will be the one!! Tee hee![/giddy]

Oh God, I'm dreaming of those "Curly locks of dirty blonde hair cascaded down past his forehead, licking delicately at his handsome nose and full lips." ROFLsamoth said:Don't make me get Huntor Pegor on your ass, now...
