Thread Name: Lyr Add: Factory Maid and the Clove-Hitch Knot
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Factory Maid and the Clove-Hitch Knot
A hitch goes round a cylindrical object like a post, attaching it to the rope. Knots just attach rope to rope.

I think a loop like a hangman's knot or bowline is technically called a "bend".
