There is a knot that works most of the time, lets see if I can describe it, came from an old timer I knew in my youth. You start out tying a square knot, or just like you are tying your shoe... then you take the two ends of the twine, and fray them back, so they are loose and fluffy. Then you mesh these two fluffy ends together, as if you were trying to insert one piece of twine into the end of the other. Then you take your thumb and forefinger, and roll back and forth this overlapping, intermeshed inch or two or so of twine between them. Once all of the twine is rolled together, and intertwined, you start pulling the strings together, while holding the intermeshed portion with your thumb and forefinger before the lower half of a square knot, and it forms kind of a half square knot, half of a jumbled tangle of a knot, which is stronger than the twine, itself, if done properly. When I am out in the field, I can make this knot in about 30 seconds or less, but I have been doing it along time, maybe 20 years or so. I wish I could post pictures, as well as I can tie this knot! Of coarse, you want to make sure that you tie the rear end of the front ball to the front end of the rear ball...

The need for fabricating becomes obvious when you go to buy any of these
