Bev,
the weaver's knot, aka sheet bend, is most useful for tying two threads of differing thickness.
Although there's been much talk over the years about the Weaver's Knot, I've never really bothered with it because I've always had my own knot which works. Yes, my knot was the Sheet Bend!!!
I remember learning this knot first as a boy of about 10yrs of age (back in the 50s) when my old farming grandfather taught it to me. I distinctly recall him saying that it was designed to tie 2 lengths of rope or string of unequal thickness together, and that it would not come undone. As always - he was right.
So I've been using the Weaver's Knot all along thanks David in Ballarat - To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [email protected]. For help, write to [email protected]. Photo site: http://community.webshots.com/user/arachne2003
