You're not twine hard enough.
Yes, I like knots; for nowt woodeye complain to Helen, or others.
Wow! That's a fantastic Turks-Head!
I tried, with my son, to learn how to do that earlier this year for Cub Scouts. I didn't have enough practice to share it with the pack.
Do you have some resources to help?
The fall back book for basic turks heads is
Turks Heads, by Ron Edwards. I bought mine on eBay from this fellow:

There are other sources as well.
The woggle neckerchief slide is described in several sites, but I like this one:

Thanks! It is something my son really wanted to learn and I just wasn't skilled enough to teach him. I'd love to be able to teach him and maybe the rest of the den to do these as toppers for walking sticks. I've also heard of them being made as neckerchief slides.
Thanks for the link, Foofie. I'm a member of the guild, but I don't think I've seen the other one.
Just an update on progress:
I live only a few blocks from SOG.
