A TIB Ashley's Bend (1452) Double Loop
IMO, this is better used qua
"twin eyes",
the point being that if an eye is loaded in isolation,
it can collapse-contract the unloaded collar; but
with both eyes loaded (as one),
that that collars
the then-effective SPart will not extend so much
and deny the other eye from doing so. [edit 2021-07-12]
The red text is confused.
What I mean to say is that with loading the two
eyes together then the eye pulling on the collar
of the UNloaded end/through-SPart
will not be able to pull down & tighten the collar
of this unloaded end/SPart --the security of the
other eye, whose SPart is loaded now, will inhibit
the extension of the twin eye.
[end edit]
Yes, this is a neat way to doing such multi-eye
knots from some of our familiar ends joints.
(In a somewhat similar manner, one can form
single-eye knots from #1408, ..., but getting
an asymmetric knot (one side d/double, the
other single, collar(s)).
Thanks,
