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
