Very nice pictures! Unfortunately I didn't know exactly what I was looking
at in a few of the pictures. There were no descriptions of what each item
was, and even if there was it would have been in a language I don't read or
understand. Good luck with your business though! :o)

I didn't realise it was advertising a business :-)
I have many knotting friends, they meet monthly and talk knots and rop. I've
been but it doesn't grab me enough to go more than twice. Spouse picked up
the skill very quickly (he would!) and enjoyed it too but again couldn't be
bothered to do it just for the sake.
Another of our friends, Dez Pawson, who buys beeswax for me - indeed I cast
blocks with rope knots on them just for him - is the founder and was the
first President of the International Knot Tyers Guild. He and his wife are a
marvel, makes a living from making and selling knots - many like those on
the web site, fenders for boats, that sort of thing. At the bottom of their
large garden he erected a large building and made it into a Knot Museum, we
were invited to the Grand Opening a few years ago and it was a memorable
day. There were people from all over the world there, we learned a lot!

Wow, thank you for sharing! I really enjoyed looking at the pictures on the
first site. It also had descriptions as to what I was looking at, *and*
instructions on how to do some of the knots. I know my Dad would have
enjoyed seeing those pictures... and likely knew how to do those knots, and
the items made from those knots too. :o)
My Dad was a pretty quiet and shy man (except when he was ticked off... then
everyone heard him, and everyone moved in a hurry. LOL) so I didn't know
that he knew how to macrame (he had been in the Royal Canadian Navy during
the war) until one day when I was knitting... shortly after I had taught
myself to do so. I happened to glance over and noticed him with some
cord/twine/string (the kind that you can use to either tie a parcel or
turkey legs together for roasting) attached to the back of one of the
kitchen chairs. Back in my teen years my Dad and I never really spoke much
to each other... it was just understood that we loved each other (I was very
shy too).. so I didn't say anything to him about what he was doing and
instead I just continued on with my knitting... and of course him being as
shy as he was, he wasn't about to mention it to me either. By the time my
Dad and I spoke more, I had somewhat forgotten about him macrame-ing until
after he had had a stroke. Then, for whatever reason, the memory came
back... but it was too late then to ask him to teach me, because he had lost
his hand co-ordination. I kick myself now for not speaking up when I was a
teenager and asking him then to teach me. It's true what they say....
hindsight is a b*tch! :o/
