Knotting Terms 

In this book you will come across a number of terms peculiar to the art of knot tying and ornamental rope work. 

• By knot, we mean a fastening or design, other than a hitch or bend, which is made with cordage.
• A bend is the fastening used to tie working cordage together.
• A hitch is the fastening used to tie cordage to a spar, boom ring bolt or the standing part of a working rope.

The cordage has five parts: 

• The standing part is the main part of the cordage, as opposed to the end, or the working part.
• The end, or the working part, is the unsecured end of the rope.
• The bight is the open circle of the rope.
• The loop is the dosed circle of the rope.
• The eye is the inside of the loop.

A locking run is a single run of rope work. In many designs this is doubled or tripled.
