	The Reef (Square) Knot
		To tie the knot move the mouse along the numbers 1 - Reef.
		Admittedly it is usually a bow that we tie - but the underlying knot is a Square (Reef) Knot.

	Knot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Knots have been the subject of interest both for their ancient origins, common use, and the mathematical implications of knot theory.
		A rope containing a knot is weaker than an unknotted rope, because the loops of the knot impose uneven stresses upon the rope fibers.
		For example, loop knots share the attribute of having some kind of an anchor point constructed on the standing end (such as a loop or overhand knot) into which the working end is easily hitched to using a round turn.

	KAP knots and hitches
		Knots and hitches are utilized for many purposes--joining two lines together, making a loop in a line, shortening lines, stopping lines, and attaching lines to anchors--posts, rings, cleats, etc. In fact, it is impossible to fly kites without the ability to tie a few basic knots.
		A knot or hitch has two characteristics in terms of its potential effectiveness--strength and slippage, both of which are important for deciding which knot to use for a given purpose.
		This compound knot combines the characteristics of the clove and half hitch into a knot that is quite strong and highly resistant to slippage.
