Easy Perfection Loop
As you may know, I'm not a big proponent of the Perfection Loop in
rope except in cases where you're certain you don't ever need to untie it. There are several ways of tying it, but often a very simple way seems to be overlooked. Lets start off with the first diagram on this page, ignoring the arrow path: http://www.geocities.com/roo_two/butterflyloop.html Lets number the strands against the tyer's palm as 1, 2, and 3 from left to right. First, you draw strand 1 right, under strands 2 & 3. Then you draw strand 2 right over strand 3 and through the bight made from strand 1. Done. You may choose to use a finger or two in small stuff rather than your entire palm, as appropriate. Cheers, roo == See the Notable Knot Index for my real e-mail address |

Huh?!? No... I'm not inquiring at all about how to tie a Butterfly
Loop... I *wrote* that Butterfly Loop page. Read the subject line. I was describing a quick way to tie a Perfection Loop. I strongly suggest you re-read my original post more carefully.

Thanks for posting it. We should start a list. If you have two round turns (three turns) over your hand, which Loop Knots can you form by switching the positions of the turns or tucking? (Using the ends of the rope is not allowed!) As of your post, we have three: the Alpine Butterfly, the Farmer's, and the Perfection loop. Does anyone have any others? All the best - Brian. |

I'm replying to your message, not to you..be to those(newsgroup readers)
who might want to see a different example..with a live demo... without looking at a drawing depicting a different knot and told to do it a different way....so give it a break... check out these Perfection knot pages...why re-invent the mouse trap....remember some people only just learned how to tie the shoes yesterday... :-) Maybe you could explain how to do that...show them a blood knot first, it might make it easier. http://www.killroys.com/knots/perfecti.htm http://www.flyanglersonline.com/begi...ctionloop.html http://www.rodworks.on.ca/knotperf.html http://www.thaifishingguide.com/fish.../perfection_lo op.html http://www.tollesburysc.co.uk/Knots/Knots_gallery.htm why "knot" have a little fun, it's only a news group...
