Knot Craft

Summary: A superb and unique craft guide
Review: Written by a professional ropeworker of 25 years experience, and the co-founder of the International Guild of Knot Tyers, Des Pawson's Knot Craft is a step-by-step breakdown of how to apply knots, materials, and hands-on skill to create bellropes, key fobs, mats, doorstops, kinfe lanyards, belts, and more. Extensive black-and-white illustrations by Ann Norman deftly walk the reader through the basic steps of each project. It should be stressed that Des Pawson's Knot Craft is primarily a craft and creation book; though the novice knot-worker receives instruction in many basic ways to tie, it is not specifically an instruction manual for the myriad nuances of seaman's knots. A superb and unique craft guide packed with ideas for inexpensive homemade gift projects.
