No assumptions about double pulling, when I pull tension after I knot on the 2nd cross, I am still pulling on the knot, that is qhat I want to get away from doing. Of course there is always tension loss after I knot but I want to get away from pulling on my knot, especially at higher tensions. I have had my mains break on me a few times at 30 pounds, I did hold my tail when tensioning my 2nd cross after knotting, sometimes it would slip into the grommet and the main would snap at that knot that is pulled through. =)This seems like you assume that more tension is lost when double pulling the first two crosses compared to the tension lost with a finishing knot?
If that's your assumption, why do you think so?
If it's just about using the same knot, there already were plenty suggestions of knots that can be used for both, tie-off and starting.
Also, do you hold the end of the starting knot when pulling the first cross(es)?
