I have tied again all the knots that I have published here, and I have discovered a minor mistake at the pictures of a family of knots that I should gave corrected in the first place, so that the representation of the loose/initial form of those knots resemble closer their tightened/final form.
There are two similar knots in this family, where I interlocked two 8 s to make a bend (hence their name, 88 bends).
In the first case, there are two riding turns around the knot s nub on the outside side of its shell. In the final tight form of this knot, we get a nice compact bend/stopper, with beautiful curvilinear rope paths, that I have named "Aphrodite" at first !
But, because this bend turned out to be the most tightly jamming knot I know,(!), I renamed it "The Oyster", for obvious reasons...The standing part paths are wide, around three rope diameters, a characteristic that I considered very interesting. I must point out, though, that I have not succeeded, to this day, to discover a simpler method of tying this beautiful, compact bend/stopper.
In the second case, the strands that were going -previously, in the "Oyster"-
around the knot, now stay
inside its nub, as two "embraced" rope strands. Unlike the "Oyster", this bend is easily unloaded and untied - it is not easily jammed. I have named it the "F88' bend ( because, in a simplified form - where we un-tuck the tails of an F88 bend once-this knot produces an interesting Carrick-like bend that I have named "S88" bend : simplified 88 bend).
In the corrected loose form of those knots, one has only to grasp the two standing ends/tails pairs and pull them apart, to tighten the knots, without the relative position of the strands inside each pair be changed, in any way, during the whole dressing procedure.
P.S. 2011-10-30 : This bend is identical with the B 5, N-fold, N=3 Threefold bend, by Roger E. Miles : Symmetric bends. (How to Join Two Lengths of Cord), 1995 (p. 87, p.108). Miles suggests that
" the easiest way to tie [ those N-fold bends ], is via the Ashley illustration (ABoK#777)" (p.124).
