Ekka, I aint JPS but about 1/2 down this page is the Figure 9.

That is close, but I pass the bight though the working end only because it will load and the standing end will not, thus making it harder to relaese the knot.

I came up with it one day when I could not remember how to do the circus bo'lin, which is a single bight mid line fixed knot that unloads with ease.

The last pic is not dressed perfect, I would push the worry point up farther so it will be easier to release
