Synopsis

Creative Ropecraft is a treasure trove of knots, hitches, bends, plaits and netting - the standard work on practical and decorative knots and ropework. Anyone tempted to try their hand at this will be able to follow the steps easily thanks to Stuart Grainger's exquisite and very detailed drawings. Stuart Grainger describes how to tie and use a wide variety of knots, both practical and fancy, including * crown and wall knots * turk's heads * door knockers * hammocks * mats * belts * cuff links * table lamps * rope-edged trays and much more. 'The best fancy knotting book...only when you've tried can you know just how good.' Knotting Matters 'Essential for any knot tyer's library. Stuart Grainger's illustrations are a joy to use, both for their beauty and clarity of instruction.' Des Pawson, professional ropeworker
