Wow, those are massive!
Here's a link to the Toshi http://www.badmintonforum.com/vb/sh...que-and-knot?p=2215309&viewfull=1#post2215309
Since I learned this knot it's the only one I need, holds great even as a starting knot.
I might try the Toshi knot and then do a Parnell knot next to it unless Mark A beats me to it. But I really like my set up with a starting knot + 3 Parnell knots. I'm biased towards smaller knotsStill good to have a larger knot in your repertoire though.
I gave the Toshi a go, but I must have cocked it up... it needs diagramming, really.

In the meantime, I added another loop to my double-Parnell, and it worked:

But you pretty much need three hands for it - three loops, all needing tightening in order.
Mind video'ing this for us Mark A?
I use the parnell too however it doesn't look that "bulky" compared to you.
:crying:
This video from youtube I believe is someone doing the Toshi but doesn't do it as nicely as AK does. It is a lot easier to follow too.

I'm going to try this again based on your recommendation. Even if it means not being able to get Alan's soothing voice out my head.
Will you be using it for tie-off knots as well, or just for the cross starting knot?
