This is a ridiculously domain specific question, but does anyone know the Ashley Book Of Knots number for the Berluti shoelace knot?

Edit: #1216, thanks @michael !

C'est quoi "l'ABoK" ?
Pourquoi, lorsqu'il est question de nœuds, voit-on parfois une mention genre "ABoK #1152" ?

"ABoK" est l'abréviation de "Ashley Book of Knots", une encyclopédie de nœuds, réalisée par Clifford Warren Ashley.

C'est pourquoi, lorsque l'on parle d'un nœud, s'il existe dans cette encyclopédie, le numéro du nœud est cité.

C'était vraiment une autre époque le 19ème siècle o_O

On devait réfléchir et être très adroit mais le risque était pas vécu pareil...

Pour être honnête il y avait des sécurités, voir alt text et images.

Mais bon...

Tiré du grand livre des nœuds de Clifford W Ashley, qui en 1944 nous parle des techniques du 19ème siècle.

Gros coup de cœur car techniques écologiques et très utiles

New item on my book wishlist: The Ashley Book of Knots (1944). The definitive guide. #books #ABOK #knots

I finished reading my Ashley Book of #Knots. (#abok) What a well-written book! So many interesting bits of lore and knowledge!

Also it was very long.

Mostly it isn’t going to prove useful to me, day to day. (Grog Knots takes the crown, there.) Maybe someday as a reference for one of the elaborate knots.

But the ideas of “nip” and the “single hitch” will stick with me for a long time.

Making myself a belt from 3mm accessory cord. About 10 metres of cord makes a belt.

Funny story: when I was a kid, someone tried to teach me how to tie reef knots. I am a knot geek now (own #ABoK and everything), but I couldn’t get it right for the life of me. I concluded I was hopeless at knots, because every time I followed the instructions to the letter and got a granny knot.

The instructions were, “left over right, round and under. Right over left, round and under”.

8 year old me assigned “right” and “left”
At the start of the exercise and kept track of where they went. Wheat he meant was “Since the right has now become the left, we’re swapping ends”.

But he never said that.

Similarly, the instructions I found for this cobra weave said, “swap ends each time”.

It doesn’t actually mean that. It means keep using the same end, which keeps swapping sides.

Humans can be so imprecise sometimes!

I've had to take my laptop home for some work and got tired of awkwardly carrying everything along with a lunchbox while trying to navigate through doors and my pocket for car keys.

Since I had some #paracord lying around, I looked up what kind of #knots I could use to temporarily bundle everything together.

This starts out as a simple single lashing (#ABoK 2076), then a diamond pattern lashing (ABoK 2087), and finally 3 parallel loops (ABoK1077) for a comfortable wrist handle.
