Knot terminology
Do the terms "capsize" and "spill" mean the same thing?
Specifically, does any one word refer to the way a knot changes shape when tightened (as the carrick bend does) and is there any term that refers to a knot becoming mis-shapen and useless (probably because it was tied incorrectly.) I'm working with Boy Scouts and would like to be able to talk clearly about the difference between these two situations. Thanks. |
