Welcome to my blog. Here I've posted photos of my hobby and share some ideas on things I've learned to make using decorative and useful knots. If you want to learn, there are informative links throughout the blog for books and online learning resources. If you have trouble figuring a knot out, have patience and keep trying. Click 'Older Posts' at the bottom of the last post on each page or search the 'Archive' for more.

What keeps you motivated? I don't tend to create any knotwork unless there's a need/request...
@Tom W, I find knot work to be meditative. It can be relaxing to work with a puzzle of knotwork sometimes.
I try not to do too much where my hands sometimes bother me, or to the point of feeling burnt out on it. If I get frustrated with trying to tie something, I can just put it aside and/or take a break from tying. I rarely go more than a few weeks without tying something.
I tend to stick with easier types of knotting projects, but there's always more to learn and variations on things to play around with if I get bored.

Thanks, I know what you mean about the meditative effect.
I enjoy the blog!
