Very nice pictures! Unfortunately I didn't know exactly what I was
looking at in a few of the pictures. There were no descriptions of what
each item was, and even if there was it would have been in a language I
don't read or understand. Good luck with your business though! :o)

I didn't realise it was advertising a business :-)

I have many knotting friends, they meet monthly and talk knots and rop. I've
been but it doesn't grab me enough to go more than twice. Spouse picked up
the skill very quickly (he would!) and enjoyed it too but again couldn't be
bothered to do it just for the sake.

Another of our friends, Dez Pawson, who buys beeswax for me - indeed I cast
blocks with rope knots on them just for him - is the founder and was the
first President of the International Knot Tyers Guild. He and his wife are a
marvel, makes a living from making and selling knots - many like those on
the web site, fenders for boats, that sort of thing. At the bottom of their
large garden he erected a large building and made it into a Knot Museum, we
were invited to the Grand Opening a few years ago and it was a memorable
day. There were people from all over the world there, we learned a lot!
