A Handbook of Knots and Knot Tying by Geoffrey Budworth
Useful for every situation from fishing, boating, climbing or tying a parcel, knots feature in our lives every day. This informative handbook includes an amazing array of knots from the familiar overhand to the more challenging Chinese button knot. Full of helpful advice on tools and materials needed for creating both practical and decorative knots, and information on the broad range of cords, and rope available - and their ideal uses, this handy guide should be useful for anyone involved in using rope or those interested in creating beautiful mats and decorative works.
Geoffrey Budworth has been tying knots for almost 50 years. Throughout the 1960's he served afloat on the tidal River Thames in London's river police putting his knotting to vital daily use. In 1982 he co-founded the International Guild of Knot Tyers and is a past president of the Guild, as well as a regular contributor to its quarterly magazine Knotting Matters. He also acts as a knotting consultant to the British and the National Maritime Museums and occasionally broadcasts on TV and radio.
