Double Slipknot

             Generally speaking, Double Slipknots are an unwise choice
             for bondage, on account of their tendency to tighten as
             strain is put on them. However, if tied in conjunction to a
             well-structured piece like the Dragonfly Sleeve or properly
             hitched off when used as a wrist tie, the Double Slipknot
             makes a quick, useful technique.
