As the world moved from the 20th century to the 21st century much ado was made of the event with world-wide events. The International Guild of Knot Tyers used the momentum of events to launch 2K2, the Twentieth birthday of the Guild, with mem- bers tying their first knot of the new millennium, and then sending a postcard of the details to Ken Yalden. By doing this, a bond was woven world wide as individual knot tyers joined into a wonderful fraternity of friends with like interests. The following two years were used to promote the Guild and the forthcoming 2K2 to be held in the year 2002. The culmination of 2K2 was a weeklong event in Furnham Hall Fareham with Displays, demonstrations and practical workshops every day. Combined with the fris- son and momentum of Knot Tyer, meeting Knot Tyer, and exchanging ideas and won- der, from a multitude of countries. January 2005 will see the beginning of the two-year lead up for 25 years of the IG- KT. So, now is the time to think what you can do for the celebration, will you teach or will you learn? Or maybe do both !! There will be general and branch meetings of the Guild, before the main event, so you can try out your ideas and get into practice. The Solent Branch has recently had an ‘On the Spot’ session, where a tutor or sub- ject was requested, and given a teaching spot for a future meeting. How about doing that for future meetings, don’t just turn up and ask for things when it is too late to make arrangements.

  • Knot Masters Troop 90
    Knot Masters Troop 90 1. Every Scout and Scouter joining Knot Masters will be given a test by a Knot Master and will be assigned the appropriate starting rank and rope. Ropes shall be worn on the left side of scout belt secured with an appropriate Knot Master knot. 2. When a Scout or Scouter proves he is ready for advancement by tying all the knots of the next rank as witnessed by a Scout or Scouter of that rank or higher, he shall trade in his old rope for a rope of the color of the next rank. KNOTTER (White Rope) 1. Overhand Knot Perhaps the most basic knot, useful as an end knot, the beginning of many knots, multiple knots make grips along a lifeline. It can be difficult to untie when wet. 2. Loop Knot The loop knot is simply the overhand knot tied on a bight. It has many uses, including isolation of an unreliable portion of rope. 3. Square Knot The square or reef knot is the most common knot for joining two ropes. It is easily tied and untied, and is secure and reliable except when joining ropes of different sizes. 4. Two Half Hitches Two half hitches are often used to join a rope end to a post, spar or ring. 5. Clove Hitch The clove hitch is a simple, convenient and secure method of fastening ropes to an object. 6. Taut-Line Hitch Used by Scouts for adjustable tent guy lines, the taut line hitch can be employed to attach a second rope, reinforcing a failing one 7.

  • Chinese Knotting
    Chinese Knotting Standards/Benchmarks: Compare and contrast visual forms of expression found throughout different regions and cultures of the world. Discuss the role and function of art objects (e.g., furniture, tableware, jewelry and pottery) within cultures. Analyze and demonstrate the stylistic characteristics of culturally representative artworks. Connect a variety of contemporary art forms, media and styles to their cultural, historical and social origins. Describe ways in which language, stories, folktales, music and artistic creations serve as expressions of culture and influence the behavior of people living in a particular culture. Rationale: I teach a small group self-contained Emotionally Disturbed class. This class has 9- 12 grade students. This lesson could easily be used with a larger group or with lower grade levels. I would teach this lesson to expose my students to a part of Chinese culture. I want my students to learn about art forms they may have never learned about before. Also, I want them to have an appreciation for the work that goes into making objects and to realize that art can become something functional and sellable. Teacher Materials Needed: Pictures and/or examples of objects that contain Chinese knots. Copies of Origin and History of knotting for each student. Instructions for each student on how to do each knot. Cord ( ½ centimeter thick, not too rigid or pliable, cotton or hemp) in varying colors. Beads, pendants and other trinkets to decorate knots. Tweezers to help pull cord through cramped knots. Cardboard or corkboard piece for each student to help lay out knot patterns. Scissors Push pins to anchor cord onto the cardboard/corkboard.

  • The Great Knot Competition
    Outdoor Education 9 The Great Knot Competition Date of competition: ________________________ Learn to accurately and quickly tie useful knots from memory! The student with the most winning times on the knots will win the competition, with a second runner up. Incorrectly tied knots or memory aids will disqualify quickest times. 1st Place - First choice of chocolate bar ​ 2nd Place - Chocolate bar ​ Knots to be Timed: ​ 1. Square Knot (Reef Knot) The square knot can join 2 ropes of the same size. It is the first knot we learn to make with our shoelaces. It looks like a bow and is hugely unreliable. Its breaking strength is only 45% of the ​ ​ line strength. The simple and ancient binding knot is also known by the names Hercules, Herakles, flat, and reef knots. It helps to secure a line or rope around an object. It creates unique designs of jewelry. 2. Figure 8 Follow Through Based on the figure 8 knot, figure 8 follow through knot is one of the ways of tying a figure 8 loop the other one being the figure 8 on a bight. It secures the climbing rope to a harness thereby protecting the climber from an accidental fall. 3. Bowline The bowline (pronunciation “boh-lin”) is a knot that can itself be tied at the middle of a rope making a fixed, secure loop at the end of the line. It retains about 60% of the line strength and has a knot efficiency of 77%. 4. Barrel Knot It is a friction knot (or slip knot) meaning that it will self-tighten around the object it is tied to when loaded.

Site Map Home Knots Index Single-Loop Knots Multi-Loop Knots Hitches Bends (this page) Miscellaneous Knots Decorative Knots Bends (and other ways of tying ropes together) When two ends of rope (from the same rope or from different ropes) are tied together with a single knot, the knot is referred to as a "bend." If you don't tie knots in rope very often then it might be difficult to remember which knot to use, and how to tie it properly, when you need to tie two ends of rope together securely. Therefore, it's a good idea to learn one or two good bends which you can remember easily, and my preferences are the Fisherman's Knot and the Alpine Butterfly Bend, although I'm trying out the Double Harness Bend more and more lately (which can easily be turned into a Reever Knot ). Practice tying your favorite knots periodically (from different angles) so that you'll remember how to tie them when you need them. Here are some bends: PDFmyURL.com 1.
