100+ knotting projects

[asemery]

In 1965 a U.S. Navy Bosun's Mate introduced me to knotting.
I have learned from many other experts since then.
No one in my family shares my interest so I wrote down
a few of my favorite projects .  If interested click on link.

100 plus knotting projects

A "few".   

Your instructions are always clear.  Keep up the good work.

Knotting is a specific activity and hobby.
The main thing is that you like, and in any case, your audience will find you. 
So, do not give up and look forward to further projects.

Thanks Asemery,

I have added one to my list and am going to make a few for gifts this year.

The sailors whisk and I will also do a monkey fist door stop using the same manila rope.
Which I am sure you have done.

I just need to figure out the core. I have tried a tennis ball filled with garden stones but it wasn't really heavy enough.
And I don't have concrete balls or canon balls lying around, but I will figure something out. Anybodies thoughts or ideas will be welcome.

Cheers

Hi wysper.

I have made a few by taking some old rubber balls the kids no longer use, cut a hole and filled them with cement. After curing I cut them off.
If the fill hole is large enough it will leave a flat spot that will be nice to use as the bottom of the wrapped stop.
Or, sometimes the hobby and /or garden supply stores sell them.
Hope this helps.

Hi SS

That is a good idea, maybe I will try filling old tennis balls with concrete.

Hi wysper.

I'm thinking that you'll need something larger than tennis balls to provide enough weight to stop a door.
Some toy stores (or big unnamed stores) sell inexpensive plastic kick balls of various sizes.
