Ballestrinque knot is also known as bowline about which previously I have experienced as I told earlier so it is useful for securing rope with an object and may be adjusted.I first loop rope around object and then I crossed it over and lastly thread end by loop which ended at tightening.

Guide Ace Knot is a non slip loop knot which have usage in safety of objects or people.I started it by making a loop, passing free end behind and then inside which I ended by tightening it.

What uses can you give to these knots in everyday life?

There are different practical uses of these knots that I am sharing below;

Flat curl knot

• Flat curl knot is useful for providing first aid as it's flat and suitable for providing bandages.
• Flat curl knot is useful in providing clothing like to tie belt,sash or scarf etc as well as during camping for keeping tent lines secure it may also be used.

Ballestrinque knot

• Ballestrinque knot is useful in securing sails and well as for loops creation to attach ropes with anchors.
• Ballestrinque knot is useful in hoisting as well as for lowering people or objects as well as during camping for securing tarps or tents.

Guide ace knot

• Guide ace knot is important in pet care as a safest non slip knot for collars and leashes.
• This knot is also useful in safest gearing including camping stoves or water bottles etc as well as to tie to anchors for ropes safety especially during climbing at a mountain.

So all these knots are useful in outdoors and in emergency situation too...

Which was easier and harder to do and why?

Easiest	Flat curl knot

• Due to simpler crossing and wrapping motion in making it I really find it useful,time saving and easy so there was very little rope end manipulation there due to which I find out it a very straightforward process.

Moderate	Guide ace knot

• Due to requirement of creation of a loop and because of passing free end from behind and inside loop I think it's moderate to tie it because it may also require some practice for mastering.

Hardest	Ballestrinque knot (Bowline)

• As there is creation of a loop and then threading of free end through loop is requirement that's why I find it tough as well die to more rope end manipulation a sufficient practice is needed to do it accurately.

I must want to say that if for me this is sequence of easy, moderate and hardest knot making them it's not important that it will be same for everyone because everyone have different eye hand and mental coordination so choices differ from one person to another.

Have you made any mistakes when tying knots? What are the most common mistakes when tying knots and how can we avoid them?

No,I don't made any mistakes in anyone of knot making but one thing that I may include was to take a new rope for adding more neatness but still I am confident that I did everything well and still I know some mistakes that people may make in knots tying:-

Mistakes when tying knots

• Many people become fail in tightening knot in an appropriate way so it may be a leading cause of its coming undone.
• Many people don't consider that how much proper alignment of rope matters so because of misalignment of rope ends and loops knots seems to not organized well as well as weak.
• People also don't wrap rope around objects or with loop so it in sufficient times may be proven really compromising for safety of knot.
• When people fail in management of rope twists and turns then it causes tangled or knotted messes.

Tips to avoid mistakes

• People needed to practice more because as you practice to tie knots it will be more comfortable as hands on practice and mistakes chance will also reduce.
• People should use ropes which are new so that task may be done in good condition.
• People should focus on alignment of rope or loops by carefully observing diagrams and then practicing them too.
• People should properly verify the knots before they are relying on them completely and for this double or triple checking of their work is needed.
• People should try to observe each and every step they are doing if they are not getting exact result so they they may point out and learn from their mistakes.
