useful nodes ...
All these nodes will be usefulto get a "perfect" kite
inside loop
to do nice loops, you need a piano wire. bent it to make a needle shape
mark on the cord the exact position of the loop
5 to 6 cm under this point (red arrow) insert the piano wire inside the cord. Push it out where needed (blue point)
put the end of the cord into the "needle"
you shouldn't burn the cord end. Otherwise, it will be difficult to enter into the cord...
pull slowly the piano wire
to ease the insertion of the cord rol the cord with your fingers
pull the cord outside the midle of the loop
you can put another cord inside the loop
pull strongly to fasten the loop
cut the excess of cord
hide it inside the cord
put a drop of cyano-acrylate glue to fix everything
NICE no ?
slipping node
make a node at the end of the cord
a second one just above
pull the cord ... it's so simple !
lark node
everybody knows it !
