The strings that go around the ears to hold a mask to your face can be useful. It can be surprising how strong the loop is once made with a #ZeppelinBend. A mask string made into a circle with a #RosendalsKnot is much stronger than a rubber band. Eventually I'll have to design a lesson to learn the knot along with some of #DirectivesAndOperations from #OgdensBasicEnglish. I have a lesson for the BowlineKnot (もやい結び) based on a story about a rabbit in a hole coming out to go around a tree...

#knots #ZeppelinBend

The most attractive *functional* knot. Prove me wrong. Look at that symmetry! The zeppelin bend is used to join two ends of rope. Fairly strong, and easy to untie after loading.

There are two special knots that work with bungee; more complex than a sheet bend and a bowline, they hold themselves together and can be easily untied.
