learn your knots

ahh, the lazy days of summer--what better time to learn your knots?  basic sailing knots, that is.  grab a small rope or two, there are plenty of books, pictures and online tutorials available. 

even if you're not planning to become a sailor, you never know when they might come in handy!  (and if you've seen the movie "hacksaw ridge"--true story!  you know that a knot just might save lives.)

i taught myself:  bowline, cleat hitch, round turn, rolling hitch, sheet bend, square knot, figure 8, trucker's hitch, and clove hitch.
