Knut climbing hitch variation ( the TK hitch)

[TheTreeSpyder]

Ummmm, i think both ends of the Knut, go to saddle, not just one. i've corrected the Knut from previous suggestions, added the TK Hitch seperately as Mahk advised. Thanx.

Here; is another work in progress (at least that is what i call it!); stepping towards our refined knot lacings, without skipping over the elemental understandings/ lessons of the least evolved knots.

MyTreeLessons -> General Knots

Any thoughts, corrections etc. appreciated; especially towards my per-usual hurdle of expression. Yoav, thanks for pushing me towrds the once frustrating FrontPage changeover from what i was using, and all general suggestions that i'm still soaking in from your PM, months ago.

My 'hobby site' is getting a lil'expansion as buisness slows fer the Holidaze; any helpful, even personal links, other suggestions appreciated too.

Yoav;

I've been doing some knot work and revisited this thread. I understand what you've written. The knot that is in the link in your earlier post looks like an upside down, open Knut hitch (I started to write variation of a Knut hitch, but I don't think I would call it that).

In the link the knot is called 'an adjustable grip hitch' and there is a reference given for Ashley. I looked up the reference (p. 266, #1472) and the knot in the link is not at all what Ashley shows. Ashley shows "An Adjustable Bend ...formed by tying a Rolling Hitch in each end around the standing part of the other." (What Ashley calls a Rolling Hitch we would call a two-under, one over tautline.)

The link also gives a reference to a knot that Budworth shows that is called an "adjustable bend" and this is what is shown in the link. Budworth's 'adjustable bend' is different from Ashley's 'adjustable bend'. The author of the link must have thought that they were the same knot, but they are different. To further confuse things, the link calls the knot an 'adjustable grip hitch', which is yet a different name from what Budworth uses, and there is an 'adjustable hitch' in Ashley (p. 304). /forum/images/graemlins/icon310.gif

I think Rescueman is right in stating that there would be less confusion if we had more uniformity in the names that are used for all of our knots.
