might
work in this case, One end ( the wraped ) is like the usual knot, =
while the
other looks like a shepherds crook. Use pipe cleaners to practice =
tying.
<BR>The knot is applied by dry fitting the two ends and measuring =
the length
for the coil, before making the becket and coil. Start the coil and =
watch
the ends so that when thet are close they can be mated. You will =
have to
twist the crook into position or loosen the hitch and mate the =
two
ends then twist the string in the direction of the inner wrap. The =
twist
will only be like a half turn or so and is not hard to work with.
