how do I tie a big knot on a tie?

Put the thing around your neck, making sure the wider end of the tie is longer than the thinner end.  Take the longer side, flip it over the shorter side twice and thenb tuck the wide end through the front of the tie.  Pull on the wide end until the knot looks good & you're done.  This is called a "double windsor" knot.

Start with three poles, tied together at the top with one end of a looooong rope.  Let the rest of the rope hang.  Form a tripod, then add other poles one at a time - continue to use the rope to tie them all together at the top. the last pole has the canvas attached - wrap it around. there ya go.

everything else is a single unit that is textured. Hair is multiple units that are relitively untextured. When you tie hair in a knot, not all of the hairs have something to pull against. When you tie a rope, the rope is caught by itself and stays, but the hairs in the middle fo the knot are really just being curled around a bit, but dont have anything to bite into to keep them like that, they just slide right past each other. a knot needs to lock around itself to stay and there are just too many hairs not doing that for you to be able to tie your hair up like that.

Maybe you could tell them the different types of ties, or tell the class where they came from.  I've seen the model things in the stores and they have really interesting ways to tie ties.  Maybe you could demonstrate the right and formal way to tie a tie, and then find a really funky way to tie one as well.  Does that help much?

the correct phrase is tying the tie. and it works because you TIE a knot in the tie. just like tying your shoes.

Where the webbing goes into the back of the buckle- the buckle 'hinges' there. Open the flap and pull the web through to get a snug fit- leaving some slack to grow with.\n\nCut off the excess, then I always dipped mine in thinned white glue to minimize unravelling.

Tie it with a string before having intercourse man!

That depends on what type of pole you are using.  if you have a cane pole you tie the line to the end.  if you have a regular pole with the eyes you thread the string up through them from the fishing reel, tie one a swivel, put on a weight and bobber, then put on the bait and youre ready to go

When you are joining a new yarn, you might make a knot, but it will go away.  Here's what I do...I cut the old yarn and tie a knot with the new yarn around it.  Then I knit with the new yarn.  When I am done with the project, I undo the knot and weave the ends into the material. That way it won't come undone and the join is seamless. \n\nAnother way is to knit a few stiches with both yarns held together(the new and the old). Drop the old yarn and keep knitting with the new yarn. After you knit a few more rows, cut the tails that are left hanging from this join.  Then as before, weave the tails into the work.\n\n\nHappy knitting!

i chose the lock-step sequence. before you hand stitch with a small needle, you have to thread it and tie a small knot to sucure the thread in the needle. then you can proceed to sew.

1. Start with end in left hand, extending 1.5 inch below that in right hand.\n   2. Cross longer end over shorter and pass up through loop.\n   3. Form front loop of bow by doubling up shorter end (hanging) end placing across collar points.\n   4. Hold this front loop with thumb and forefinger of left hand. Drop long end down over front.\n   5. Place right forefinger pointing up on bottom half of hanging part. Pass up behind front loop and...\n   6. Poke resulting loop though knot behind front loop (see illustration). Even ends and tighten.

Supposedly there are "85 ways to tie a tie".  I have seen approximately 16 different ways.  The rest of the ways I've rear appear to be simple rehashes of these 16.  The one that is most often recognized as being easy and relatively neat, clean, and sharp is the "four in hand".  My personal top three are:\n#1:)"four in hand"\n#2:)"Half Windsor"\n#3:)"The Oriental"

You have to have some really small tools.  On the band itelf puch out the pins on the links you want removed.  Now to connect the links again push the pins back in.  Kind of tedious, need really small tools to do this and some really good eyes.

The Stren “J” Knot - Perfect for Braid-to-Mono Connection\n\nStren, manufacturer of the most dependable fishing lines in the world, introduces its “J” Knot, the perfect connection when joining a monofilament or fluorocarbon leader to a braided mainline. It also excels when connecting monofilament to monofilament, or monofilament to fluorocarbon.\n\nThe “J” Knot is the creation of David Justice, the R & D Manager for Stren Lines. .\n\nThe “J” Knot is similar in its initial stage to the Surgeon’s Knot, but thereafter goes to an alternating weave on each side of the overhand knot. It is superior to the Surgeon’s Knot because the cutting pressure is taken off the mainline by alternating sides.\n\nSimple directions on how to tie the Stren “J” Knot: For a diagram see: http://www.lyndenhuggins.com/Fishing/Knots/J%20knot.jpg\n\n1. Lay the line and leader alongside each other, overlapping about 12 inches.\n\n2. Treating the two like a single line, tie an overhand knot, pulling the entire leader through the loop.\n\n3. Leave the loop of the overhand knot open, pull the tag ends of both line and leader through the bottom of the overhanging loop, and then through the top again. (For a mono leader to a braid connection, pull the tag ends    through the bottom once again.)\n\n4. Holding both lines and both ends, begin to draw the knot slowly and evenly. If the knot appears to have loose sections after the initial draw down, be sure to pull the loose ends tightly into the knot. Make sure the knot is tight and compact by pulling all ends snugly.\n\n5. Trim ends closely.
