50 variations on the button knot
KnotMe:
I considered posting this to knotting concepts and explorations, but decided my usual haunts would be safer. 8)
Wandering randomly around Zhong Guo Jie.org I found a magnificent post from hubo5563 which considers 50 variations on the button knot (not even including the 6-9 standard variants). Starting with inline (one strand in and one out) which would mostly be based on Turk's Heads (or are they?), moving on to 2 up to 6 strand knots. I've essayed a translation of the name (leaving off "button knot" most of the time) and made note of ABoK correlations that I guess to be the same or similar (if you can confirm just by looking, and share with us, that would be fabulous ;D ) since I've spent some time today contemplating but have not tied any to try to decide if they were a match as yet (so much just to see, first!). Each link leads to detailed step by step how-to instructions. :D
Similar to the Turk's Head identification problem, the multi-strand knots... some are clearly diamond and matthew walker knots. Are the others trivial variants, well known to others, that I've just not encountered before (eg. 3 strand 6 part, 4 strand 8 part, over 2 under 2, over 3 under 3, wall, crown, footrope, etc)?
With respect to my notes, "!=" means "not equal to", "?=" means "is it equal to?" mostly in regards to Turk's heads as I'm a bit vague on them. :o

It occurs to me that I didn't consider the knob button knots without the return trip as possible sources... :-[

Hi Carol,
I wasn't able to read any of the posts on Zhong Guo Jie, but enjoyed looking at the pictures.
I wondered if you were aware that the Elfrink site contains material and usages not suitable for our younger readers?

Knots (and step by step photos) are the universal language. 8)

oops, bounced in via search and didn't look at any of the other links (it had a neat tying method I hadn't seen before), but I'll replace that one with a less controversial link. Sorry!
WebAdmin:
That's fine, thanks :) I thought you might not know. If he has got a unique tying method, not documented elsewhere, then we could just mark the link as adult content.

Glenys

I hadn't seen it before, doesn't mean that it's not well known in the circles outside my head. 8)
First link that pops up when you google "two strand wall knot". People who can type can go seek it if they want. ;)
