Tied like a schwabisch but with one of the legs pulled to the other side...it actually performs well.

I'm curious if it has a real name? I was just fiddling around with different hitch cords and hitches seeing what this new rope likes and came up with this.

Looks like a Swabisch to me?

Here´s how to tie a Klemheist:

I'd call it a schwabisch with a half braid, or just name it after your self! There are loads of discussions as to whether the half braid IS a braid or not. I have been using the term half braid for decades to describe that hook-up.
 
How about Schwabisch 2.0, or Schwabisch Reloaded!

Thanks woodchuck, half-braid sounds good to me.
