Not a Knot but a Loop

When I was a powerboat driving instructor I usually volunteered to teach the Ropes and Knots module.

My favourite knot to teach was the Alpine Butterfly Loop, popular with climbers, great for putting loops in a rope, making it useful for towing dinghies, afterwards, it is easy to break the loop and undo it.

Nice looking knot. The red stands out well on the white background.

Is there anything you can't do?! Mad skills. A fabulous simple photo

[Susan Wakely]

Fab knot (loop). Where you in the Girl Guides?

[Lin]

Love this minimalist photo. I wish I knew more about knots. They can be so useful.

[Diana]

Is it better to be loopy than knotty then?

[Ellen Bogenschutz]

Such a useful knot, I should have you teach me some knots! I like the bright red line, too.!

[Esther Rosenberg]

@kjarn it was fun, but always in the winter and I got so cold!! Covid has made my qualification lapse and I'm too old to restart it all
@edorreandresen isn't a fab site?!

Cool shot. I once bought Ashley's Book of Knots. 3800 knots and stories! I love this book.

[Taffy]

I really like the way you've displayed this. I'm imagining the series you could create, using the same or contrasting colors against this stark white background. Great details.

[JackieR]

@haskar is that the book where they explain how to lift an elephant??

@taffy high key white always a fluke for me taffy!!!

[ajisaac]
