Description - 101 Step-by-step Knots by Geoffrey Budworth
Knots have been around for thousands of years, used for hundreds of vital specialist tasks on land and sea. Anyone can learn to tie them, for professional use, for sport and leisure, or just for fun, and with a little practice you can soon acquire an impressive repertoire. There are several thousand knots in existence and an infinite number of variations of them. In this card deck, 101 carefully chosen knots are explained and illustrated in step-by-step detail. Some are simple and some complicated, to challenge those new to knot-tying and to teach experienced knotters new skills. Categorized for ease of reference depending on their general purpose, all the key knot types are covered, including bends, hitches, knots, bindings, loops, mats, plaits, rings, and slings. You will recognize classics such as the Granny Knot and the Reef Knot, decorative knots such as the Turk?s Head and the Monkey?s Fist plus knots for fishing like the Blood Knot and mountain climber?s favourites like the Figure of Eight. Over 500 close-up colour photographs show every stage of every knot in perfect detail to guarantee ensure successful results every time. Whether you are an eager beginner or lifelong devotee of the art of knot tying, this card deck will prove an indispensable guide.
