plafond knot variation challenge
Rrok007:
First off I wanna offer sympathies to JD, it seems Mr Carideo had some influence in your life. Hopefully that which gave his life such value will not be lost to this world, but find their way into another.
Secondly.... I have to be misunderstanding the video... because it looks like the hearts of the knot are some cross-breed involving the cobra stitch... or a combination of that and the split square-knot technique....
Rrok007:
Okay, so I was watching JD's video again, as well as one or two of his "bar" videos and it's swirling in my brain that a way to move the plafond knot outwards along it's length lies in the weaving technique.
According to Carol, it's important to have two strands at the top, but there doesn't have to be a loop. So rather, the most important elememt is having to center strands along it's axis, with no real stress as to how those strands occur. It would also seem that any weaving pattern that can repeat a low-left, high-right diagonal is required.
There's a number of videos that show bar knot techniques that result in multiple pairs of strands. And a modification of the cobra stirch is one way of creating the needed diagonal pattern. Perhaps some crossbreed of it and the switchback weave that JD uses in his videos could be used....
That's all I got right now. Preparing for some travel over the weekend so can't think much about it. Maybe think more over the weekend...

Hello All,
I'd started a new topic on the Plafond Knot (http://igkt.net/sm/index.php?topic=3976.0), however, think that here may be the more appropriate place to post the following:
http://bbs.zhongguojie.org/thread-1167-1-1.html
It looks like it needs to be "tied-on-the-table", rather that "in-hand".
Aided by Google Chrome and the Google Translate Extension (not an advertisement), I was able to find the above-linked line diagram of the Three "Heart" Plafond Knot or Long Plafond Knot. I hope that I didn't break any International Treaties by exporting the design.
I have to admit that in the excitement ;D of having found these elusive instructions, I haven't tied it yet.
I'll post a picture.
Happy Tying!!

You didn't mention that you had to join the forum to see the picture. Plus you have to give it a Chinese username. So, that was a little tricky. 8)
At the top of the page a icon that looks like paper with a lock in it next to a button with this text (立即注册). Click thru that button, then give it
1) a username (when I gave it an English one it said "User name contains the character of the shielding system" (well, in Chinese and this is the machine translation) so I made up a Chinese one which it was happy with. English was OK with everything else)
You can get a Chinese name from here (http://www.mandarintools.com/chinesename.html or pick a few words you like and machine translate them and give that a shot. It's a username after all, not a Real Name TM.
2) password
3) password again
4) email
5) it says it wants a verification code here, I thought it wanted a captcha code of some kind but didn't see one, but my account setup was accepted even though I put no code in.
There's only one form button there, it's the submit.
I was able to see the picture right away, no email verification or welcome to the forum email... I should probably check my spam filters for a welcome email...
Here's a direct link to the image http://bbs.zhongguojie.org/data/attachment/forum/month_1010/10102900294a5715ef16d2ffb3.jpg. I tried the link from a different browser (no cookies) and it worked. YMMV.

My apologies. I should have just uploaded the image. :-[
...must have been the excitement factor.
Thank you for posting the instructions for obtaining a user account and for posting a direct link.
Happy Tying!
