This knot is tricky to tie, you can't just "tug" the ends. It requires patience and precision.

I have been using knot tying diagrams as one of my personal “pelican on a bicycle” evaluations, and this is the first one that really shocked me. The spacial reasoning is there!

I've had a glass of wine, but isn't it 3 half-hitches inside each other?

Would be useful if the strands were different colors.

There's a button for that.

What was the prompt?

I suck at prompting: Create a realistic animation of tying a Matthew Walker knot. Didn't get it right the first time and adversarial review self-corrected it.

Is it just me or does the dragging feel backwards?

No, yes it's backwards.
