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.

one of the jewish catalogues has a very good run down.
i think its the first jewish catalogue (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0827600429/ref%3Dpd%5Fsl%5Faw%5Falx-jeb-9-1%5Fbook%5F4670947%5F5/103-4697830-5368626), but it might be the second or the third. regardless, let me commend them all to you as an excellent three-volume encyclopedia-cum-how-to-manual for jewish life.
