GETTING KNOTTED!
I've standardised my lead making to a certain extent, using a box weave on the short leads, and a round weave on standard and long leads, but that doesn't mean that I dont look and trial other knots and weaves.
Take the Sanctified knot, which I showed in a previous post introducing Arbuthknot, the collar jig.
The knot appeared on my horizon, and instantly said 'I want to be a collar', so I duly obliged in duplicate, making two.
Now the Shark's Jawbone (who thinks of these names?) shown in 1st picture hovered into view the other day, asking to be a candidate for a small dog's collar. Yes Barney, we are looking at you! The name, however, put me off. The knot's name I mean, not Barney's!
I didnt feel it was right to put a shark anywhere near a small dog.🐕
Upon further reflection I've changed my mind and will probably use a Cobra knot,shown in 2nd picture, small, neat, and possibly not much more suitably named than a Shark's Jawbone!🐉.
Do you agree?
