Reposting some "original" knots

Hi All,

I've just joined The International Guild of Knot Tyers -
Pacific Americas Branch. At the meeting tonight, which fortunately
for me meets ten minutes from my home, I told the group that I would
be reposting my (so far as I know) "original" knots for their and the
newsgroup's edification and review. One of these, the knot I call the
"Figure Four Bend" is probably not original, but I'm including it as I
believe that I have discovered it to be the strongest bend that can be
easily untied even after the rope or line has been brought to enough
tension to break a Hunter's Bend or a Zeppelin Bend (which it always
does when tied in series with one of them).

I hope you find the descriptions adequate and the scans (the pictures
were taken on a scanner) clear enough to tie the knots themselves.

The explanatory text for the knots will appear on rec.crafts.knots and
the .jpg images of them along with this message and the explanations
will appear on alt.binaries, which from my server has a slower
propagation time so they may not be there yet when you look.

Regards,
O J (Old John) Gritmon

Could you post some message IDs, so those of us who don't frequent the
groups can see your words and pictures of wisdom without having to
trawl through the rest of the messages there? Thanks!

Ask and ye shall receive. Sorry, I use a regular newsreader so I can
get away with retrieving just the headers and then just sorting by
author. I shouldn't have assumed that everyone else uses the same
access. Here are the message ID's from alt.binaries. The posts to
rec.crafts.knots are just text messages that also appear in
alt.binaries but without the pictures attached.
