FSF!!!! That is really a great site. Ever try to explain how to tie a knot to someone? The animation is a 'can't miss' way of learning new knots.
Thanks for sharing.

Beaver,
I looked at this one first and never looked again, you can go through each step so easily, and figure out where you are messing up. I never understood why my many blood knots over the years have had such a high failure rate, but after reading that you need to be sure that both sides need to be wound in the same direction and seeing it, I understand why I screwed so many of them up, and often setttled for some kind of back to back clinch instead.

This is the kind of link that M1 ought to list in a category called "Very Useful Links", so that people could find some of this frequently needed or very useful information without having to scratch around. I put it on my favorites.

Not looking at someone else do it upside down, with their hands and head in the way sure makes it easier to see.
It's on my favorites.
