Editorial Reviews

Review

"If you'd like to get all tied up in knots, literally, here's the book for you. This forth edition covers the basics, and then goes into the more complicated and decorative knots. The excellent illustrations make it all look easy, however. It will walk you through various projects that will keep you occupied on a long crossing." -- Latitudes & Attitudes, March 2007


Product Description

Illustrated with drawings of knots and knotting techniques, this book explains the techniques of tying knots, hitches, bends, plaits, netting and decorative ropecraft designs as well as the practical aspects for making mats, belts, hammocks, table lamps, door knockers, cuff links and key fobs. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

4.0 out of 5 stars ropecraft, November 20, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Creative Ropecraft (Paperback)
Great instuctional book. Fairly easy reading and the best Illustrations since The Ashley book of Knots. The only downside is the "Practical Projects" section. Fairly simple stuff.

4.0 out of 5 stars Rope a dope, October 23, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This is a excellent book and gives the beginner some pretty high goals to reach.

I wish there were a little more detail showing actual step by step action required for each level of completion. However a good imagination does help in the learning process.

Maybe with time and practice this old dope may learn to get off the ropes.

Wish me luck.

I liked this book and recommend it to anyone who thinks they can't be creative. Or if you just like the "challenge" then this is the "test".

Stanley Alves.
