The knot 8_19

This is the first non-alternating knot in the standard table of mathematical knots. Compare this model of 8_19 with the 3D model of 8_18. Can we see something in this optimal 3D configuration of 8_19 that would suggest it has no alternating 2D projections? http://makerhome.blogspot.com (day 67)
