Alpineer,
I was able to catch your attention with the sax ligature, but, I see, you don't like the Yoke hitch! (I insist, please, try to tie the slipped version!)
About the sax ligature, the german string ligature and the whipping work (maybe they are a little bit more string consuming), but I'm a knot tyer
and I like to use other methods, (by the way, I usually use a metal ligature).
bye,
s.
