Tying Steps
- Insert the string through the bight, well down from the bight tip.
- Go around the bight and cross above the string on the back side.
- Finish by tucking the end between its turn around the first bight leg and that leg; pull tight.

Famous quotes containing the words tying and/or steps:
“The average parent may, for example, plant an artist or fertilize a ballet dancer and end up with a certified public accountant. We cannot train children along chicken wire to make them grow in the right direction. Tying them to stakes is frowned upon, even in Massachusetts.”
—Ellen Goodman (b. 1941)
“History counts its skeletons in round numbers.
A thousand and one remains a thousand,
as though the one had never existed:
an imaginary embryo, an empty cradle,
...
emptiness running down steps toward the garden,
nobody’s place in line.”
—Wislawa Szymborska (b. 1923)
