This beautifully produced compendium gives you a knot challenge for every day of the year.

Covers:
- all the essential knots
- useful hitches, bends, whippings and splices

- mini knot craft projects: cool keyrings, friendship bracelets, belts, mats
- magic 'trick' knots: escapology knots, vanishing knots, travelling knots
- freestyle knots: have a go at the 'thrown bowline' (an old cowboy trick)
- everyday fashion knots - new ways to tie your shoelaces, scarf, or even your tie!
You won't escape this book without learning something, and you won't put it down without picking up an interesting fact or useful technique. Give it a month and you'll be a knot tying fanatic; give it a year and you'll be a knotting supremo!
