[edit] Drawing

The "drawing" section seems a little gratuitous to me. Is a step-by-step construction necessary? Should it not be demonstrable from the image on the page? 72.196.104.129 11:50, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

It's not very easy to follow without a labelled diagram, anyway... AnonMoos 00:10, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Other image

There's an alternative graphic at Image:Endlessknot.svg .... AnonMoos 00:10, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] What happens when it is pulled?

What happens if I pull at it from one end or two or more ends, would it become a circle, or would it be further entwined? --71.166.141.225 02:27, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

It's formed from a closed loop, so it doesn't have "ends". However, if you shook it, the two pure ornamental loops (at top and bottom as shown in the picture currently on the page) would uncross, and you would get something like the pictures shown at URL http://katlas.math.toronto.edu/wiki/7_4 ...

[edit] Duplicates?

just reporting: there are 2 other articles with ideas similar to this article. Shrivatsa Srivatsa --Ne0Freedom 01:02, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Good point; I've marked up those two articles to merge with each other, and if that happens, we'll see where it stands with respect to this article... AnonMoos (talk) 11:11, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
