Are you perhaps just coming across rope knots for the first time? Have you probably gotten intimidated by the way some rope knots are made? Relax and know what this art entails. Trust me; you'll love it and feel more confident afterward. What does knot tying entail? Knot tying is an art that involves braiding ropes in ornate designs and structures. Knot tying serves several purposes apart from those tied to decoration. They could be used as hitches, bends, loop knots, splices, and so on. So, linking threads together will create knots. This step is produced by linking the end of one thread line called the working end through a circular loop. Then, you draw it tight to get the knot style mentioned earlier. However, the craft got better and more efficient over the years, causing many people to take the art as hobbies and jobs. Whether you want to tie a knot for your rock climbing adventure, to tie your tent while camping, your boat while sailing, to tie your package, or even for your home décor and usage, etc., your ability to master the art of tying knots can be a life-saving skill that could make the difference. Below is a sneak peek into what you will learn; 1. The historical information of knot tying 2. Application areas of knot tying 3. Terminologies used in knot tying 4.
