The Girl Guide way of making the sheet bend is to make a loop with the
thicker rope, then up, round, under and through with the thinner one.
There are two ways of making a weavers knot; one involves crossing the
threads at the start, which I can't do, the other is to make a running
slip knot with a loop (the way I start with crochet) and pass the end
of the other thread through the loop and then pull on both ends of the
loop thread to turn the knot.
I think that's why I had so much trouble with it as a Brownie... didn't
help that what we were told was a sheet bend was in fact a clove hitch,
as I learned years later! Now, I use the weavers' knot method and have
no problem with it at all!
