From bow ties, to lassoes, to nooses--you'll find 175 knots here to serve every kind of purpose. Some secure heavy loads, others offer flexibility or come apart easily, and still more are purely decorative. * Start by "tying it simple" with basic overhand, slip, and square knots; hitches; constrictor and package knots; sheet bends; and ties. Use these techniques to fasten parcels, firmly link two ropes, do macramÉ, or fix a necktie. * Get fancy, with buttons and bows, scarves and lanyards. Decorate a hat with a lovely rosette or spruce up a gift package with a Japanese bow. * "Tie It Sporty" so that you securely bind tents, fishing lines, and boats. * Learn to tie powerful work knots that hold fire hoses, hoist pipes, and lift planks. With a little practice and these clear instructions, drawings, and full-color photographs, you can make them all! 128 pages (all in color), 7 x 10.
