This week I\u2019m going to try not to tie you all up in knots!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A not is knot just \u2013 sorry, restart \u2013 a <em>knot <\/em>is <em>not<\/em> just any old twist of rope. Knotsmithing is an art. You have to have the knowledge of what secures the rope to something else, and while most people can do the overhand and reef, that\u2019s about as far as it gets. All Scouts should be able to do the reef knot at least, considering it features on the World Scout Badge. However, some people take it a little further, and learn more advanced knots. Then you get on to really top-class knots, which I\u2019m still working on. I have a small but effective knot vocabulary, to which I occasionally add new ones. Last week I learnt the Turk\u2019s Head and the Rolling Hitch, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As for why I like knots, it\u2019s because it\u2019s versatile, being both a crucial survival skill and a decorative pastime; it\u2019s a good way to show a bit of skill; and most of all, it\u2019s really fun!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A collection of my knots \u2013 what kind of knot and what they\u2019re used for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beginner\u2019s level<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">Reef knot \u2013 one of the most basic and yet useful. Used when safety is not paramount but you need to tie something up (parcels, etc.). Named by sailors because they used it for reefing sails.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Sheet bend \u2013 another useful bend, or joining knot. Another one with a nautical name \u2013 sailors tied sheets (ropes attached to sails) with it. Use in similar circumstances to reef, but maybe more secure and more show-off.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Clove hitch \u2013 a simple hitch (attachment knot). Not vital safety, but good for lashing sticks together over the campfire.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Round turn and two half-hitches \u2013 another hitch, also useful, for tying boats up among other things.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Figure-of-8 \u2013 an elegant stopper knot. Generally nice to know.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Shoe bow \u2013 you tie your shoelaces loads of times over your life \u2013 unless you\u2019re a Velcro person. I\u2019m a shoelace person. I also found a better way to tie, with two bands instead of one over the two loops. This has prevented me from having to retie them five times on one walk.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Intermediate level<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">Carrick bend \u2013 a more decorative and secure \u2018bend\u2019 knot. Again, can be used as a substitute for reef knot situations.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Bowline \u2013 indispensable, lifesaver, non-binding noose, and top knot to know. Use for clifftop rescues, poaching, tree climbing, and more.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Poacher\u2019s noose \u2013 a knot for capturing things. Not necessary unless you\u2019re hunting for survival, but good for pranking trick-or-treaters!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Fisherman\u2019s knot \u2013 a bend that joins two ropes in a knot that will outlast the rope itself. Mostly used in climbing as a Prusik knot.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Slip knot \u2013 Binding noose. Similar to Hangman\u2019s noose, but I won\u2019t go into that. More sedately used in casting on while knitting.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Square &amp; Tripod Lashings \u2013 knots to join poles together. One forms a cross (Square), the other joins three side-by-side. Good for picture frames, or cooking pots.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Various types of quick-releasing hitch \u2013 all for quickly untying any horse, boat, or other suspect getaway vehicle, or releasing traps from the ceiling.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Rolling hitch \u2013 a knot that doesn\u2019t slide along another rope. I learnt this one today and am rather proud of it. Used when towing boats, etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Advanced level<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">Monkey\u2019s Fist \u2013 one of the top knots for bragger\u2019s rights, used in keyrings, heave-lines, stoppers, and for whacking things with a rope ball. Takes a while to tighten. Much easier with large, stiffer rope.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Turk\u2019s Head \u2013 used for woggles, paracord poppies and decorative bands. Rather complex but really beautiful and obvious once you get it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Alpine Butterfly Loop \u2013 a climber\u2019s knot for ziplines, harness attachments, and highwire antics. Maybe a bit tricky, but very elegant.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"397\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/home-ed-in-a-shed.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Screenshot-1.png?resize=1024%2C397&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-568\" style=\"aspect-ratio:2.579345088161209;width:1058px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/home-ed-in-a-shed.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Screenshot-1.png?resize=1024%2C397&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/home-ed-in-a-shed.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Screenshot-1.png?resize=300%2C116&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/home-ed-in-a-shed.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Screenshot-1.png?resize=768%2C298&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/home-ed-in-a-shed.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Screenshot-1.png?resize=1536%2C596&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/home-ed-in-a-shed.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Screenshot-1.png?w=1783&amp;ssl=1 1783w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Clockwise from top left: Sheet bend, Figure of 8, Carrick Bend, Poacher&#8217;s Noose, Bowline, Monkey&#8217;s Fist, Turk&#8217;s Head, Reef Knot, Alpine Butterfly Loop, Rolling Hitch, Fisherman&#8217;s Knot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now that I\u2019ve informed you about a few knots, you might like to try your own \u2013 it\u2019s remarkably satisfying.
