When tying a knot, there’s two parts of the rope that you will need to be able to identify to follow instruction while tying a knot that’s new to you:
Standing end (BOTTOM): The long part of the rope that’s not active while tying your knot.
Working end (RIGHT): The short end of the rope that you’re actively using to tie your knot.
You'll also need to know:
Bitter End: the working end of a rope tied off to a (mooring) bitt.
