p. 42 calls the §Somerville Bowline a §Carrick bend single column. There is justification for this - the knot is one of the false Carrick bends - but it feels a little wrong-headed to me:
- It claims §WykD Dave discovered it was a Carrick bend; actually, the original blogpost identifies it as §ABoK #1445 (a Myrtle hitch), under the Carrick bend section of the book. I think the claim about WykD Dave is the other way around - Dave independently discovered the §reverse French bowline cuff, which §Topologist then identified and differentiated from the reverse §portuguese bowline.
- The way it is tied does not resemble a Carrick bend, and in this sense it is as much a Carrick bend as a §reef knot or §sheet bend. Myrtle hitch seems more appropriate.
- bowlines often have different names from the knots they are constructed from. For example, the prototypical §bowline is constructed from a sheet bend.
p. 85 describes the §Kinoko hip harness (variation 1); the text description says to tie the waist, then the hips, but the image shows a harness in which the waist has been tied last. have been tied before the waist. The text is correct.
