Hi All,
roo, Thanks for sharing your tying method, yes the coil on hand method, it seems more natural to me too.
謝謝 alanleeknots
Nice (belatedly attending to details here ...),
but I think that one could/should skip the first
tucking --which is a small bother, after all--
in the wrapping : wrap THAT *tuck*, leaving
then just the drawing out of eye. .:. So, you
have a trio of turns, but orient them so that
the above initial bight-tuck is obviated.
Or, as the coiling shifts around my fingers,
begin by
wrapping across (left hand) towards fingers,
then reaching back over the other way (towards thumb)
and finishing --the tail-- coming now up and over at
the center;
and here the drawing out of eye bight comes from back
of hand (across knuckles).
!?
YMMV. But a sort of nice back'n'forth & center as for
tying the
farmer's loop (where upon this 3-turn
position the rule is : center over (a) side; that side now
centered over other side; ... now centered leaps over
first-done side; and the now (original) centered turn
is pulled upwards into eye.
