Question
I have ties prepared for Shabbat with tie knots ready for shabbat.
is it allowed to make the loop smalleer and larger?
I have had the same knot for more than a month.
it was made on friday and all i do is tighten it and loosen it. A friend told me it might be similar to a knot on the end of an individual Tzitzit thread.
thanks
Yossi
