" Hi my name is Dan and I'm here with Expert Village. Today I'm going to show you how to tie the rolling hitch. Which is excellent means for tightening a line. It is knot that slides in one direction and one direction only. With your rope made fast i.e. tied off to a mast or in this case a chair. Bring your working end out and around end object. In this case the leg of the piano. I'm going to try to tension this line and I'll take my working end of my rope and wrap it twice going forward toward the end of my rope made fast and I will come back and go underneath. Now I have tied the rolling hitch. I will tighten it. You will see that it doesn't slide backwards. I can tie it one more time for you. Go around your object, wrap forward twice, and bring your working end back, up and through, tighten and that is the rolling hitch."

on 8/2/2008 Hi Dan, While most of your other knots are tied correctly, your presentation of the Rolling Hitch is incorrectly tied. The first two passes need to go inside the loop around the piano leg, then finished off toward the standing part. The improved Rolling Hitch is tied with those first two passes by adding a crossover between the two, then finished off with the last hitch toward the standing part. Otherwise the rest of your stuff is fine.
