I can absolutely guarantee you that no-one is going to be terribly interested in the mechanics of doing fancywork in small lines, wearing out your fingers and eyes in the process and winding up with something that no-one seems to want, but, Hey! It's MY obsession, innit?

For the two of you who DO find this interesting, I shall be putting up some thoughts on, instructions for and uses of fancy rope work from time to time... Of course, you can find many more items at my website (www.frayedknotarts.com) but on here I can expound somewhat on various items and thoughts (when, and IF, I actually have any) more than I presently do on-site.

Welcome, pull up a rope spool, grab your small fid and lets do some "sailor-ly" time killing.

Someone pass me that rum.

(That was the "Introduction" apart... Seems the "Mission Statement" is, indeed, mission.
