Knot Work...

well its been ages since i last updated this blog... honestly i really haven't bee doing much except going to work, eating, sleeping and repeat. been catching some movies here and there but nothing really ground breaking. But that is not what this entry is about, no sir. Today i made a couple of knots that i thought i would share with the world (or rather the 2 ppl that might stumble across my blog every now and again :P).

2Bight Turk's Head Knot






recently Stormdrane posted a video showing how to do a 2Bight Turk's Head Knot which i thought looked great. so after putting off getting some stuff for a while i ended up ordering a couple Jumbo Perma-Lok needles and another Hemostat. when they arrived this past week i click on his tutorial and got down to it :D


Ocean Plait Mat





On this last Friday after i got off from work, i had to pick up a couple of items at the store and a hank of 100Ft 1/4"in rope caught my eye as i walked through the aisles and out of the blue decided to pick it up too. i brought it hope and made my self an Ocean Plait Mat from page 274 in the book "Knots" by Gordon Perry. Here is the result.
