Braid your own?

[Par Four]

I stand corrected. The more widely used terminology clearly is to splice an eye.

When I decided to learn how to make my own lines, I did my first Google search with "braided..." And like with all things-Google, I got tons of hits, and off I went....

BTW the bowline is my go-to knot. I use it a ton, everywhere. I don't know about any 1-handed fancyness, but its been a knot that I could 'see' and understand from the first effort.
