HI Doug
Here is another site that shows the blood/barrel knot. This is the way I tied it and you don't have to use your teeth and you get the same # of wraps on each side if you prefer.

Here is the way I was taught to tie a quick blood knot. Due to the length
of the instructions, I will transmit it in several posts.
OK - here goes:
1. Get a 2 - 3 foot piece of cheap mono to practice with; 4-6 lb. test.
2. Cut it into two pieces 12-18 inches long each.
In all the following instructions, I am right-handed. If you are
left-handed you are on your own. If you get really stuck, I will learn to
tie it left handed.
3. Cross the two pieces of mono - left over right so it forms an "X". Hold
the center of the "X" between thumb and finger of left hand.
4. With the right hand, take the tag end of the mono sticking out to the
right hand side and make saeveral twists around the running mono. The
number of twists depends on whether you are tying a 3 - 4 - 5 - blood knot.
This refers to the number of wtists on either side of the center point of
the know. Generally, the smaller the diameter of the mono, the greater
number of twists it will take to secure it.
Let's try it with 4 twists on eitthe side of the knot. That is 2 x 4 = 8
twists.
