Packed with the author's exquisite and very detailed drawings of knots and knotting techniques, this book is a treasure trove of knots, hitches, bends, plaits, netting and decorative ropework, all explained clearly and simply to enable the layman to follow in the footsteps of the traditional seamen who have gone before him. The author describes how to tie and use a wide variety of knots, both practical and fancy, from crown and wall knots to turks heads, as well as showing a wide range of decorative ropecraft designs and practical projects from mats, belts, hammocks, to rope-edged trays and table lamps. Creative Ropecraft is the standard work on the subject of practical and decorative knots and ropework. It is being reissued in a newly designed edition.
