Mors du Cheval (second Method)<br />
Start with two bights (unlocked half knot)<br />
and lock by passing the ends as shown.<br />
Extend bight x.<br />
Twist the extended bight so as to lock it,<br />
(check the rectangle a. just to make sure the<br />
twist was correct), and pass the end as<br />
shown to complete the knot. Double (or<br />
preferably treble).<br />
I believe this must have been the method<br />
used by the Viking who made the Bornhol pendant (dated 800ac-100 ac). He worked with three strands<br />
of wire rather than face the problems of trebling, and the work hardening that would inevitably affect the<br />
wire when bent as often as required by the tripling technique.<br />
D-N<br />
Start with Mors du Cheval (see<br />
previous knot) and extend the two<br />
center bottom bights.<br />
Twist these extended bights to lock<br />
them and place one over the other,<br />
as shown.<br />
The working ends are then pased as<br />
shown n a regular over and under<br />
weave to lock and complete the<br />
knot.<br />
Its not quite a ´Tribulation´,but it was still a d--- n--- work out ~ hence the title.<br />
