Editing Melacha of Tying (section)

== In the Mishna ==
These are the knots for which one is liable: A camel driver's knot and a sailor's knot. Just as one is liable for tying them, one is liable for untying them. R' Meir says: Any knot that can be untied with one hand, one is not liable for it.

There are knots for which one is not liable like the camel driver's and sailor's knots. A woman may tie the opening of her dress, the strings of her hair covering, and of her belt, and the straps of shoes and sandals, and wine and oil skins, and a pot of meat. R' Eliezer ben Yaakov says: One may tie before an animal so it doesn't escape. One may tie a bucket with a belt but not with a rope. R' Yehuda permits it. R' Yehuda stated a rule: Any knot that is not permanent, one is not liable for it.
