Looking at the picture Alan posted I can't tell for sure that he has more than one strand on top. Maybe you have it right? :)

I too, think you have it right.

The example is shot in such a way as to hide the end you are trying to outwit.

Tighten one of your up and the photo it like the example.

I'll bet they look the same.

Well, I appreciate that...you're both probably right...I just wish I could figure out if there's a different knot I could tie that could get it...balanced? Same number of colored leads on both ends...

I don't think it is possible with this specific knot...

Not sure without taking the time to try it, but my guess is you do the 1st & last pass the same color & if you want an even number of each color you need a n even number of parts. Hope this helps. Buck

If you tie a 32p x32b, 4 Pass, Type 2 Pineapple Knot instead of a 30p x 32b, 4 Pass, Type 1 Pineapple Knot, I think it will be what you're looking for. Your 1st and 2nd brown leads will both consist of a 9 part x 8 bight, then follow with the 3rd and 4th white passes of 7 part x 8 bight.

I appreciate your help, but I am confused...you said, "instead of a 30L x 32B"...the knot I tied and had pics of on the first page was a 13L x 8B...so I would not even know how to tie a 30L x 32B knot...not a 32L x 32B one. :(

To me it looks like this: The double line in this drawing is a 9p x 8b TH. The single blue line is a 7p x 8b TH. Notice there are 4 red dots on the 9p x 8b drawing that match the 4 red dots on your 1st brown pass in your pic. The green dots on the 7p x 8b drawing match the green dots on your 2nd brown pass in your pic. The 3rd and 4th white passes would also be the same as having green dots. This would mean you have one (the 1st brown pass) 9part x 8bight TH and three (the 2nd brown pass plus the 3rd and 4th white passes) 7part x 8bight TH's. If you add all the parts together it equals 30 parts. Do the same w/the bights and you get 32 bights. This would make it (following Tom Halls' way of naming PK's) a 30 part x 32 bight, 4 pass, Type 1 Pineapple Knot w/a 9 part x 8 bight base knot. Great job on it by the way!

Thanks for the detailed diagram. I will try to understand what you wrote...it will probably take a while...
