A couple of nights ago, Dasniya decided she would take the looping method to a self-evident continuation. Looping occurred some time last year when we were both amusing ourselves with dismantling shibari, and Dasniya began pulling loops – that is, the bight of a rope – of single rope around a folded leg, knee, ankle, foot, and then found if it was done in the right way, you could just pull the remaining end and it would all unravel. Basically a convoluted rope chain.
So once this began colonising across a body with accompanying messy tying, and all the other atypical shibari, it became a matter of time before something like this happened. Quite a few ropes, half an hour of tying (I had a book to keep myself amused for the first ten minutes, and then unexpectedly finished it), miscellaneous additional ropes stuffed in, and as much mess as was considered likely not to ensure failure, then ten minutes to untie by pulling.
