Zipper PUlls

[asemery]

I carry a big supply of zipper pulls. I give out several a day when I am away from home. To helpful store clerks, as an extra tip to waitstaff. At one recent wait for my car to be serviced I gave away 3 to a amother and her two well behaved children who were looking at me making the star knot pull. I get a kick out of giving these away and the recipients are grIateful, especially the unappreciated store clerks. Tony

Nice work. I like those.

Very nice. I bet the people who receive them love 'em.

These pullls are easy to tie:
The wide yellow pull in the first row is a ladder back knot

The blue knot next to it is a simple cobra stitch. This is one of hundreds of instructions you get when you Google.

I wrote tutorials several years ago for the remaining knots
The tutorial for the red star knot can be found at

The other pulls are all crown and wall knots and the tutorial can be found here http://www.khww.net/articles.php?article_id=139 The smaller round ones have NO tucks between the wall and crown knots. An interesting discussion on the crown and wall knots can be found here http://khww.net/forum/viewthread.php?thread_id=640&pid=5672#post_5661

That's a great thing to be doing - the giving them to people I mean - I wish there was just a little more of that attitude around. And they're one of those little inconsequential things that no-one thinks much about; 'till you need one and it fails!.............................................Good stuff!..............................atb mac
