Knots to you

To be honest I never knew there were so many knots.
You could waste days here.

Gone Troppo,
Good site bloke. The trick is to remember them all when the occasion arises.
Have to take the lappy along.

Coincidence or knot (?) I have 2 books covering most knots but actually borrowed another this morning from the local library. Fascinating things I reckon. I think I must have been a sailor in a previous life. Used to use them a fair bit in my previous job in the tree industry but haven't had a call since then. Still fascinated though.
Very useful site link, especially showing you the colour coded sequence of application in numbers. If only I could lock it into my brain. Now where did I put that ocky strap.

the truckers hitch is a bit complicated as to the one posted in members files

and for those that have used the excuse that they dont wear ties cos they dont know how to tie them , just follow the link above and you can learn..... you ole twits

Brings back the "olden days" when i was in a Scout group that put a high value on knotting skills. You really had to be able to tie them one handed to get any respect - so i never got much respect but can still select the right know for the job and enjoy doing them right wehn we are in the bush.

Caravan reduces the need for them - must be getting old! Great site.

If anyone wants to practice on their PC here is a program I have used for years.
