I ran across this site Knots that may be useful. It has good drawings of both the common and not-so-common knots useful in fishing line. <br><br>This may be useful in preparing your PSK Cheat Sheets or adding to Bill's Cheat Sheet. I have been looking for a clear drawing of the Palomar Knot for Spyder Wire to add to mine.<br><br>

Schwert,<br><br>Have you checked Spyderwire's website? spiderline Click on the "knots" in the sidebar.They have both an animated and a still picture series on how how to tie the palomar knot. Or, at least, they did a few months ago.<br><br>Take care,<br><br>Andy

Andy,<br><br>I did see the animated version on the spyderwire site, but could not get a "static" example of the knot before it was drawn up. I wanted a printout for my Cheat Sheet. I did not see the still pictures on their site. I will have to look again.<br><br>Thanks, <br>Randy

Randy,<br><br>You can download Irfanview (freeware) and extract all the frames in the GIF animation and then choose which one(s) you want. That particular animation has 92 frames (!) - no wonder it looks so smooth when it animates. Disclaimer: I have no association with the software; I just use it for quick viewing/printing and picking apart GIF animations.<br><br>Tom

Randy,<br><br>It may be easier to simply write the directions down. Double over-hand knot through the eye, feed hook through loop...or something like that. <br><br>The first five boxes on that page are stills in sequence, the last is the GIF. Maybe just use the first five?<br><br>Take care,<br><br>Andy

Andy/Tom,<br><br>Thanks. Looking at the spyderwire site again it is obvious that I had not had enough coffee or something when I was first looking to add a drawing to my kit <br><br>
