Best way to shorten closing loops?

[Sonic 0]

What's the best way to shorten closing loops? I always tend to shorten mine too much - how do you do it in small increments?

Make them close in length then move the knot up or down to get them perfect.

Wait till you try to make a cypres loop for the first time.... lots of fun learning how to make those right.

Carefully?

I don't know that are any rules as to how to best shorten your closing loop. I've gone through enough of them that I can usually get pretty close the first try and from there it's trial and error.

Anyone else have a better idea on how to accomplish this?

For just a smudge... add another washer or two.

Huh. I never thought of that, but would be perfect for those times when I can't get it just right. I'll remember that one.

It isn't to much if you can close the container using a pull up chord. It's the right amount if you can close it and make a lil sweat while doing it. You should try closing my container, now that sure gives a sweat!
