Laced up

I have just been using the Technorati site to check if I have blogged previously about double-knotting shoe laces. I thought I had because it is one of my favourite pieces of trivia – and pretty useful to boot (although it won’t work on boots because they don’t have laces). When I was younger, I used to have the tightest double-knots on my laces, so tight I would often need to use a sharp implement to pry them loose enough to undo. But all that changed when Sooz showed me a trick. All you have to do is pull steadily on one end of the lace and it will come undone (if it doesn’t try the other end). Works like a charm!
