I learned a bunch in the boy scouts, but have forgotten all of them. It would be nice to know more than just the standard shoe-tying knot.

I taught knot tying when I was an assistant scoutmaster.

I can tie a lot of different knots compliments of working and shopping at the Home Depot.

So, I'm revisiting some knots because I my brother and I some paracord for Christmas. As Darkstarr suggested, animated knots is a pretty good site and their apps are currently on sale I really like the ipad app).

I'm halfway decent, mostly because we had a copy of the Royce Sailor's Bible laying around. Good read, surprisingly enough.

i got "knot guide" app on my iphone. it's alright.

i want to get some rope thicker than paracord. paracord can be annoying to learn on because it's so thin.

Yeah, I'm doing decorative knots and stuff. Making bracelets and keyfobs, stuff like that.
