Nice Knots, Rab! I tried to make this knot, but I am stuck and was wondering if you could help. I used the Ashley Book of Knots, followed the diagram. After the initial knot, I am having trouble "following" the rope around a 2nd and 3rd time. The start and end of the knot do not match up! Each time I try, my knot ends up lumpy on one part and does not tighten into a perfect sphere. Have you had this problem? Do you have any suggestions? Should I use three different strands of paracord or just one strand? My email is: jpechter@gmail.com. THANK YOU for any help you can give me! ~Joe
