Before I lashed on I cut off the excess ends beyond the knots. This makes the process go a little more easily.
However, things did not proceed smoothly.
As I was lashing on, I discovered that some of the groups still had a loose end or two. In fine silk it is impossible for me to untie the overhand knot. I simply retied the knot and then cut off the excess length.
I had to do this several times. That is why, in the picture, some of the ends are much shorter than the others.
Here is a photo of the cord I use for lashing on. It is available at Home Depot or Lowe's.
