Scumbase

In my real world life, I am a Girl Scout facilitator. My job is to prepare adults to work with girls to guide them into being girls of courage, confidence and character that make the world a better place. One of my finer skills is tying knots.

Knots are used for everyday purposes, and even for nefarious ones too. You KNOW that Mistress AAylia finds pleasure in the art of Kinbaku upon the scum and her enemies that visit her dungeon. 

One is very simple, but often done wrong. This knot is designed to tie two ropes together, such as to extend a line or to tie a parcel. It is also used often in macramé. This is a square knot. When done WRONG, it is called a granny knot. Granny knots are unreliable and show your inexperience. A square knot, when taut, will not slip until freed. It is also easy TO free when you are ready. It is also a basic knot, the first to teach beginner knots. 

The knot is easy if you remember the phrase "left over right and under, right over left and under"

Just to make sure you do not create a granny knot and be a dweeb.. when you push on the two lines, you see two loops = square knot, you see mess = granny knot!
