What Knot is This?

I got a "security violation" instead of a picture when I clicked the link.

Blast. Ok, try it now. My sincere apologies... geez. Its been working for me 100% of the time (since literally 5 min after the original post). No idea why its so hard getting my photo hosting site to respect links offsite. I think I've finally made it work now.

I'm really sorry about the image problems...

Ahh, good pic. It's just a thumbknot (overhand knot) with the standing part run through. I don't know how secure but I've made that mistake and it jammed down to something that could only be cut, not untied.

There's a reason why some knots have names and other tied thinggies have merely deprecations.

G'luck

Thanks! Good to know I should be on the lookout for NOT tying this beastie, ever.
