Ropes or cords of whatever type are composed of fibers that are bundled together to make larger structures; with wear and stress, these bundles can gradually come apart. When fibers are coming loose from the bundles to which they belong, the structure is said to be frayed. If the rope used to tie a knot is fraying, then the knot is fraying. Eventually, the knot will fail.

How do you reeve a set of blocks?
In most cases to reeve a pair of blocks it should be done with the 2 blocks at right angles to prevent line-to-line friction which negates the efficiency provided by the blocks.
Laying the 2 blocks at right angles (use a cloth to maintain this to make it easier to observe the proper run), terminate the rope end on the block with a terminus. run to the center sheave (if an even number, pick left) of the free block. Run the line to the same opposing sheave on the terminal block. Run the line to the next sheave to the right from center of the free block. Run the line to the nearest sheave on the terminal block. Continue this going from inside out, first center, then right, then left, then right, and this will work for 2 sheave through 5 sheave sets of blocks, including a set that may be 2& 3, 3&4, etc.

What is the meaning of tie the knot?

The Bowline is by far one of the best-known and oft used knots. It has been used for centuries and is very familiar to sailors, climbers and other outdoor enthusiasts. Used to form a fixed loop at the end of a line, the Bowline can be tied with one hand, does not jam and is reasonably secure. Don't get too carried away though, the Bowline has been known to work loose when not under tension and may reduce the breaking strength of the cord by as much as 40%. None the less, it is an important knot to know and is useful for tasks ranging from building snares (form the main loop by threading the standing line through the knot loop) to hanging bear bags to rigging rope for emergency rescues. The knot is made more secure by leaving the tag end long and adding a stopper knot or two half hitches.
Many people learned to tie it by remembering the rabbit story. The rabbit comes out of the hole (the tag end through the loop), goes around the tree (around the standing part of the rope) and goes back down the hole (down through the loop).

How do you make the knot in gimp?
Well, there are different types of knots such as the box stitch and the zipper.
Box Stitch:
1. Take two strands of gimp that are the same length.
2. Find the middle of both and place it on a flat surface making it a plus sign.
3. Then choose one of the colours and bring it over to the other side forming a loop.
4. Do the same with the same colour on the other side.
5. The with the other colour, on both sides, take it over the first loop and under the other.
6. Then, pull all of the strands together.
7. Keep repeating until you are at the finish or whenever you want to finish.
Zipper:
1. Take three strands of gimp, two the same size and one three times longer than the other two.
2. Tie any type of knot at the end of the three pieces of gimp together.
3. Line up all the strands of gimp.
4. Take the strand on the right side, bring it over the strand in the middle and under the strand at the left side.
5. Now do the same using the same strand of gimp but starting on the left side.
6. Pull a little after each over and under.
7. After you are done tie the same knot you did at the top.
8. Then cut of the tips to make it look nicer.

How do you make a hangman's knot?
An Overhand Knot, one of the simplest knots and building block for others, is made by taking one end of the line, turning it back towards the rest of the line, then to go under and around the other part of the line, pulling the end through the loop created. The standing part and the end of the line are then pulled tight. This is the first knot formed when tying shoes.
