Hi Dan,
Thanks for your comment. Here are the points that I want to explain, perhaps you would suggest the appropriate ways in naming them.
In ABOK,
#798, #2418 all named True-Lover?s Knot are lanyard knots and fancy knots as classified. They are equipped with a loop. We get two forms of this knot (one in the mirror form).
#2301 True-Lover?s Knot with bows extracted. Tied from the base knots #798, #2418. We get two forms of this knot (one in the mirror form).
#2419 Sailor?s Cross is the knot with bows extracted. Tied from the base knots #798, #2418, same configuration of #2301. We get two forms of this knot (one in the mirror form).
#2302, #2422 both named False-Lover?s Knot and are fancy knots equipoed with a loop and bows extracted. It is tied from a base knot which is based on #798 or #2418 with the Overhands reversely interlocked. I do not find Ashley has named this base knot. There are six forms (three in mirror forms).
In my folder,
#798, #2418 True-Lover?s Knot - I remain using this name to denote the bend appearance. That is by cutting the loop of #798, #2418 in ABOK, it becomes a bend with two WEs pointing to the same side. I do not find Ashley has included this knot/bend in ABOK.
Overhand Loose II Bend - though with the same tying methods of #798 or #2418, the
SPs are pulled directly opposite and the WEs are pointing to opposite side. Not safe for use but it serves as a base knot for some other bends.
#2302, #2422 False-Lover?s Knot - I remain using this name to denote the bend appearance of this base knot. That is by cutting the loop of the base knot of #2302 or #2422 in ABOK, it becomes a bend with the WEs of the Overhands pointing to the same side.
Overhand Loose Bend - though with the same tying methods of base knot of #2302, #2422, the SPs are pulled directly opposite and the WEs are pointing to opposite side. Not safe for use but it serves as a base knot for some other bends.
-----
#781 Two-Strand Diamond Knot is a lanyard knot with the SParts parallel to each other.
#1452 (aka Ashley?s Bend) - By some tying methods and capsize the finished knot of #781, it comes to this bend with the SParts pulling apart.
Spherical X Bend and Teepee Bend - they have the same configuration in flat form. Some tying methods will lead to the Teepee Bend (tightened form of Spherical X Bend) and some need capsizing.
Some knots from ABOK have been included in my folders because they are bends by nature and some appear in side-by-side parallel SParts. While pulling apart the SParts, they are bends.
