I Will Knot!

I've got my work cut out if I ever find the time to get back to my knot book. I was thinking I would do a google maps sort of thing, with "illustrated", "photographed" and "hybrid" as three views of each knot. But now that I've seen a couple good movies of knots I can't see doing it any other way.

Perhaps I'm thinking about it the wrong way. There are a few knots that I'd like to teach, Adjustable as a superior alternative to Tautline, but since there are so many resources on how to tie knots maybe my added value comes from somewhere else. Perhaps I'll have action photos of the knots in use. Or, if I'm still stuck in LA when I get back to this project (yes, it'll be a while before this project gets going again), I'll wind up going all acedemic and writing essays/stories about the merits and uses of various knots.
