               Braided interlocking loop




               An interesting method of joining two thin lines is


               this knot, published by British knot-tyer and author
               Geoffrey  Budworth  in  1999.  Its  main  advantage  is


               that it spreads the load and therefore the wear and
               tear over a longer length of line. That means there’s

               less likely to be chafe resulting in a nasty surprise. In

               addition, the knot has some decorative merit.



































                    1  Tie a fixed loop, such as an overhand loop, in the end of one line.
