I would like to untie the end knot on this Speer hammock I was given. It's a very tight knot. The sides of the hammock are quite high, so high that I can't really sit in it without falling in and the back of my knees getting cut into. I read in the Speer book that it means one has to re knot the ends differently, "but better do it soon".
Do you know any tricks for how to untie and old set knot?
Do you concur that if I get it untied I cound knot it differently and get a different stretch in the hammock sides?
If so, how does one tie a knot to achieve a better stretch for the sides?
Thanks for all the help I have gotten so far.
