Waiting for your answer, Tom, I decided to make a theoretical presentation of what I mean happened to that knot:
1. Find yourself a tree-trunk, approcimately as thick as an ordinary 1888 unfortunatesīneck.
2. Get a scarf, and tie it around the tree, turning the loosely made knot to the left of the trunk as you stand before it.
3. Get hold of a stick, as thick as your thumb, and half a metre long.
4. Push the stick in, inbetween the scarf and the trunk, so that it sits vertically along the trunk.
5. Grab hold of the stick in both ends, and turn it like a propeller, harder and harder, and watch what happens to the knot. It will tighten very hard as you pull on the stick, and it will do so in spite of the fact that the pulling is not applied from the right hand side, opposite to the knot. In fact, you can put that stick at any place along the trunk and achieve the exact same thing.
Just thought that I would point this out before going to bed. And no jokes about where I can stick my stick example, eh ...?
The best,
Fisherman
