Another interesting part of knotting is something called Knot Morphing. I first saw this being practiced by another IGKT member, Richard Wilcox.
Knot Morphing is the ability to reform a knot (such as the Reef knot), without untying it, into another recognizable knot.
Several knots can be morphed into other knots. Examples follow:
