Pineapple knot
( please don't play at being the silly ignorant and do NOT dare to
say
Standard Herringbone-Pineapple Knot which it is NOR for reason
already explained at
length) -made with three Turk's Head Knots of EVEN
number of PARTS.
Stefanos FANIDIS
again:
Yesterday bracelet was in round cordage, here is the same pattern executed
using
gutted paracord .
This exemplify well the difference in rendering between round cordage
and flattish cordage.

Another bracelet made by Stefanos
FANIDIS on a grid generated by ARIANE that I
sent
to him. A very nice work

From Stefanos
FANIDIS : a bracelet the idea of
which was inspired to him by one of
Michel SINCE 's tutorial on so called barber pole cylindrical knot
( assembly of THK
with helical pattern )
This one
is O1-U1 and I think that it shows well how gutted paracord
( a flatish cordage)
suits well those sort of knot that do not agree very well with hard lay
round cordage.
If you want to make the grid and the table of coding just use ARIANE The diagram .ARI file (needs
at least Ariane V2.0.0.1)

Charles, I thought I ought to have a go, although I find tieing
handsome/neat PK's
almost impossible. There are 3 others I
can have a
go at as well

I have often said that those knots are for flat leather lace and not at
all for round cordage, at
least not round cordage with a core that hinder their flattening.
Try gutted paracord ( leather lace is really for the very very well
moneyed ! )or a cordage
"braid without core" but if I know that in large diameter I am not sure
that it exist in small
diameter. May be some can be made by pulling the central core of some
cord if this core is
made of parallel filaments.
The flatter the cord can go the better for the appearance.
May be try it if soft cotton cord that flatten easily.

These pictures of the sennit I just made for the tutorial (and for ...
to maybe wear) might
serve better for your friend.
Who wouldn't love a sennit that stands up by itself to be photographed,
and can hold on to a
tapered fid?

So Jimbo may be preparing us a tutorial on that
His other finding : this "banister" made with two cordages of
different diameter. [open

If anyone is still interested...
If you need a hand-hold, this "counter-laid-bannister-bar" trick makes
lots of finger-size
"grippy holes". Just my opinion, but it
feels pretty grippy in my hand...
And now, if you have a need to put a larger cord on a knot with a
smaller cord (in this case,
the White/Pink one is almost twice the
diameter of the solid Purple one), this seems nice to
me.
It's that same weird confabulation of Bannister Bars, with the Purple
cord laid OVER the
White/Pink wherever they meet. Not
finished, because these are my "Pet Ropes"!! I'm still
looking for a reason to tie one "for score"

Here
is this "not so easy' knot that will probably make a very
good bottle cover.
In Stefanos's own words [open
quote]
It was much difficult not only to make it without any mistake (i
had tie and untie
it 3 times!!) but to take out the core from 2 strands of 14 meters
paracord
also :) :)
[end quote]
Sure enough Jimbo the Kinky answered
"I hate to say "I
told you so"... no, it would be "been there, done
that"... with this picture.
to which I responded Don't want to be
difficult but yours is a wee bit less "classy" ! ;-D)
Of course Jimbo not being short in arguments sent my this collection of
slings.

The cord is a left-over from a cable pull. It's actually
called "pull string", and comes in a
plastic bucket -- I don't even think it's measured, just
"bucket". It is easy to get through
{wherever}, and strong enough to pull our network cables back with
it. We send a "return
string" with the cable for the next guy. This leaves us with
a lot of scrap. Makes a nice
sling. Minimal stretch, absolute lowest possible cost.
I should have shown you the "mouse ball sling" (remember balls in
computer mice?) which I
made of brickmason cord, and gave away. It would throw a rock
the size of the last joint of
your thumb, so far we couldn't see them hit. Here's
a Golf
Ball Sling I made and the jig to tie
it. If you're interested I could write up the
details. Obviously I don't weave the cord parts
like the Egyptians did, having modern woven cordage at my disposal...
Okay, you can send a golf ball further with a club, but it works for
key limes too, as well as
Giant Asian Snails!
I can show you the tennis-ball sling I gave to
another friend, whose
dog is obsessed with
balls. I'll attach a couple of pictures. This was
in March. The wee loop is so I can hang the
whole thing in storage within my reach, by reeving the bigger loop
through it. If you need to
throw cannon balls, this sling will do it for you, if you can hold
on. It whips tennis balls with
a surreal "whsssshhh" that gets the dog even more excited.
Yeah, "great minds think alike"... An old American TV
personality named Art Linkletter
once said: "Genius around the world stands hand-in-hand; and one shock
of recognition runs
the whole circle 'round." I always liked that.
BUT!!!
Weaving the pouch like this? EEEEEKK!!!! My
"Repetitive Motion Sickness" hurts just
thinking about it!!!
For my next trick, another tennis ball sling made with a split pouch
done as a cut splice with
single-braid cord. Picture a pair of Brummel Eyes, magically
grafted together arm-to-arm,
making an eye not-quite-big-enough to pass a tennis ball. And
that crazy Hungarian Hollow
Braid Eye Splice (??) as an anchor loop, because it's
self-locking AND
adjustable. I made
one this way from a scrap, in about 20 minutes; and the first time I
thought about taking a
picture of it was just this moment, writing this. It worked
so surprisingly well, I gave it away
weeks ago. Hence the new one, done in front of the camera, as
soon as I find my muse.
If we are "good" may be Jimbo will make us a tutorial.
