No, the knot has to be tight first. Start at the beginning & follow clear thru the finished knot tightening as you go. With practice you'll figure out how snug to make your base knot so that you don't have to do much tightening if any. Pounding & rolling is just to even out the finished knot. Good luck & hang in there. Buck

In response to type of needle used, I've been using the split needle for my Heelknots. I can get under 2/ over 2 pattern down without to much awl work but need awl to raise it up to u3/o3. This is with Roo string usually 1/32x just under 4/32. By split needle I mean the one that you open in the back end and it clamps together after you put in the string. I slice off any piece that sticks out at the start so it does'nt drag. Brad
