Around my neck.

I normally just wear it around my neck, each time I try the head wrap my glasses steam up.

Let's use words we all understand - that's an Arafat rag.

I am upset by the price they are fetching, I gave my copy away

I find www.netknots.com to be a good resource.

I do enjoy a good knot, mostly I like the surgeon's loop, the clinch knot, and the 3 turn water knot.

My dad taught me to tie the 'trucker's hitch' (though it wasn't called a trucker's hitch and I can't remember what he called it). If you compound three of them together and pull hard you can snap a 10mm rope by hand.

EDIT: just remembered it was called a Dolly.

I remember my dad teaching me what he referred to as a Riggers Knot.
It was a method of looping a rope around a bar (or a rung of a ladder etc), tied off leaving two lengths dangling. You could then lower equipment, or yourself from a height on one of the dangling lengths, then a quick pull on the other side would release the knot completely.

I believe climbers also use it at times, because it reduces the amount of kit that's left behind...

My Grandad showed me how to tie a Dog's Cock - otherwise known as a back splice. I sometimes tie them into rope ends when I'm standing about bored at work, leading to the inevitable - 'What you doing?' - 'Dog's Cock'

But the shemagh thing I just put it over the back of my neck so the main bulk is there - because that's where draughts get in not at the front as you might think.

[Ariel Badger]

Back splicing is a skill that will be lost unless we protect it, so many drivers hot cut and use tape or shrink wrap

Straight up, the Ian Knot will change your life.

The effect that this knot has on women is pretty impressive. Unfortunately its natural healing powers reversed my vasectomy and I impregnated nine women in two weeks before I realized. They all had twin boys. Now I have 18 sons and spend most of my money on child support and condoms.

I like to use a hangmans knot since it gets tighter when you pull. Just don't use it for an improvised dog lead.

I have no idea of its proper name.
