Rope ends & May wrap-up
Added 2019-05-27 16:44:56 +0000 UTCGreetings, Gentles All!
I have just posed a new tutorial covering a variety of ways of finishing off the ends of your rope. I cover:
- Simple options like tape or an overhand knot, along with a few reasons you might want to go this route
- Melting your ends if you have synthetic-fiber rope
- The Wall Knot and Triple Wall Knot
There are plenty of others, but these are a good start!
Also this month we had The Inescapable, if you missed that :)
This month an update to one of my plugins caused an issue and I am still working out which one it is and what to do about it. As I debug, it may cause another short-term hiccup or two, but I will keep a close eye on it and will instantly restore if the issue resurfaces.
I have also added a new tutorial to the voting queue, the oft-requested Tengu Tie: If you want this one to come up soon, jump in and vote!
Keep it kinky!
And, as always thank you for your support!

2019-06-18 01:50:01 +0000 UTCI commented on the page as well, but this tutorial is a real life saver (er, rope saver?) for someone like me with lots of cotton rope. Was using tape and square knots before, hoping they didn't come loose in the wash. Now I've been able to put wall knots at the end. Looks great, and I feel safer when using and washing my damn rope. 😋😁
