It's true that these sennits are versatile and good looking. They're quick and easy to tie. Good one, thanks John.

[@garryeaster8060]

clear and concise as always Johnny. thank you. would you also explain what happens with the start and finish ends to stop them unravelling, please ?

[@KnottingKnots]

They are tricky little blighters. What I do is make a bit more than I need, then tie off the ends with a constrictor knot, where it is still neat. From there, you can either transition to another decorative knot at each end, or bring the two ends together and then use a constrictor to hold them together, then transition to another knot. If you think you are really getting into this, have a look a Des Pawson's book, here is a review: igkt-solent.co.uk/knot-craft-rope-mats-book-review/

@@KnottingKnots thanks for responding. I assume the 4 strands could be gathered together, as a square profile, and some neat whipping applied too.

@@garryeaster8060 Yes, I always say, you are the master of your own knots! Keep all your work, then every so often look at it to see how far your have progressed 😉 😉 😉

Excellent video. I like this pattern. I'll definitely be using this in future projects. I typically use the herringbone pattern you get from crossing the middle two strands then passing them over the outside two strands. (Then repeat until end.)

[@KnottingKnots]

Totally agree with you, it is always good when you stumble upon a variant that not many others are using. I have also started to use black tarred line, for the same reason 😉 😉 😉 Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.

Please tell me what you create when doing your plaiting?

Hi Sir, I'm from Montreal Québec in Canada. As a French Canadian I find your videos very instructives. Thanks a lot for your Shawinigan such a good experience and skill. Could you please tell where I can find a knife like yours. Thanks for your guidance. Robert L. Longueuil, Québec

[@robertlauzon6916]

Not Shawinigan but "showing"

[@KnottingKnots]

The knife is a Myerchin. I got the one with white scales as I will one day get someone to scrimshaw it for me. Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.

[@bobfarley2969]

How are these tied off at the end or finished to not come undone?

[@KnottingKnots]

It depends on what you are planning to do with it; if you are creating a neck lanyard, you would bring the two ends together and then use all the strands to tie a decorative knot such as the Matthew Walker knot. If doing a picture frame, I would glue the ends, then cut at 45 degrees for the corners, then cover the joins with a another decorative flat knot, such as the Ocean Plait.
