Knot Tying - S2
Organizer: lyndon
Duration: Sep 21 to Oct 27, 2019
Instructions:
Welcome to Knot Tying!
In this group you will learn five knots. If these are the only knots you ever learn in your life, you'll be prepared for most situations.
We will be following the wisdom and instructions in a book called Why Knot? by Philippe Petit.
There are different categories of knots in the book.
- Termination knots
- Binding knots
- Bends
- Hitches
- Loops
Each category is used for a different purpose. We will learn one important knot from each category.
We will learn one new knot per week and practice every day.
It is no problem if you miss some of the practice times. But if you go beyond 10 strikes, you will be removed from the group. It's like baseball except instead of striking out on your 3rd strike, you strike out on your 11th.
You will need to get yourself a cord to practice knot tying with. Even 12 inches long will be fine. One time, I accidentally asked for a 12-foot sub at Subway, which has nothing to do with this knot tying group but it was funny.
My apologies that this website is very primitive. If it malfunctions on you, please let me know I will fix. A screenshot of any error would be helpful.
Terminology reference
Rules:
Pacing Thing automatically removes group members who are not committed. In this group, you are allowed to miss 10 assignments. On strike 11, you are out!
