Any advice on what sort of knot I should use?
I want to add a loop into the middle of a line that is normally under tension (though it won't be under tension when the loop is created). The knot mustn't collapse due to pulling on either/both of the free ends, or on the loop.
The obvious approach would be to take a bight and tie an overhand knot in it, but I'm sure that there must be a more seamanlike option.
Educate me!
