You may know (others not) Twine knot: To make a twine splice that will (usually) pass through a knotter without grief, try this. With two clean square cut ends of the twine (one the end of the old ball, and the other the new ball) make a normal first knot like tying your shoes.

Then push the two ends together meshing the strands so that they overlap each other one full inch, and have integrated (kinda like folding your fingers together). Rolling the resulting splice between your fingers to squish it small is the next step. Last is to itghten up the first knot, while holding the splice together, until a good portion of the splice is inside the first knot. Then pull the knot tight. This knot is not much bigger than the twine, and unless it happens to get into the knotter, it will pass through the system. It is as strong as the twine, and works wonders. Practice on some extra twine while relaxing (it kinda looks like macreme! JimN
