Dept. of Knots

Knots are important, whether you're tying up a boat, making a swing, or splicing some rope. And, like me, you probably weren't paying attention when someone tried to teach you how to tie good knots. This site -
Animated Knots by Grog - is a helpful resource. It may not be quite so helpful if you're trying to secure your boat on a windy day, but you can see the site with your cell phone's browser.
