Klappentext
A collection of practical and decorative knots, combining step-by-step illustrations and instructions for tying them, with the fascinating stories of how the knots and their uses have evolved through history.
Knots are the oldest form of human technology with a rich history that predates even the axe and the wheel. From the clove hitch to the bowline, 50 Classic Knots traces the incredible origins and stories of key knots, uncovering how each knot's function changes to suit different eras and needs.
Knotting expert Ben Lowings explores how knots with nautical roots from fishing, sailing and whaling are today used for rock-climbing, outdoor education and lace-making.
This visual treasury features 50 of the most useful knots, hitches and bends for a range of activities and outdoor pursuits including sailing, camping, climbing and fishing. The book shows how you can make the finished knot yourself, by following clear instructions and hand-drawn diagrams.
Packed with illustrations, this illuminating celebration of knots ties together the stories behind their use with expert instructions for how you can hone your knotting skills.
