Help?

Can anyone describe the knot used in tying tzitzit for me? I've read a series of sets of instructions which describe it using a. an incomprehensible picture, b. the term "double knot", and/or c. the term "granny knot". Unfortunately, I don't know if these are all the same thing, different things/different customs for tying, or what. Can anyone fill me in? OTherwise I'll see if I can find something at work tomorrow, but all our rabbis are either off in Israel right now, or don't really come in in the summer.

are we talking the knots between the wrappy things? I just do a square knot... tie one regular knot and another on top... I think that may be what the "double knot" means...

Ooh! That makes much more sense than that weird picture...
