This is a basic introduction to knot tying.
We will be going through terminology and some of the foundational knots in a seminar style workshop.
Knots that will be looked at:
- No-knot
- Two Round Twists
- Clove Hitch
- Bowline
- Figure Eight
- Directional Figure Eight
- Rolling Hitch
- European Death Knot
This will equip you to attach ropes to things securely, tighten the ropes beyond just pulling on them, and set up a system which captures your progress as you tighten.
All ropes will be provided. Meeting in the library, unless there's too many.
A good website for looking at knots is here: http://www.animatedknots.com/
