Thank you very much for your kind words JohnnyDebt, I'm trying to do my best. Still a long way in front of me... :)
Here's some more of my knotwork:
JohnnyDebt:
More excellent work!!!
The photographs are also well presented.
I notice that you use natural looking rope, I have to say that it is my favorite stuff to use. I love the feel and texture, plus the end result is so pleasing to me.
Do you buy your rope new or salvage bits where you can?
kozhedub:
Thanks!
I prefer natural materials but it's not easy to find a good quality rope here in Serbia, and if you do, it's jute and hemp almost exclusively. Cotton is reserved for cords and twines and things like sisal and manila is nowhere to be found. So, I buy pretty much anything that's worth buying and salvage whatever I can... My wish is making my own rope someday but that is just a wishful thinking right now...
kozhedub:
Tassel, cotton and wool, based on ABOK #3588. Instead of sugessted figure eight as stopper knot, I've used #545 TH 4Bx3L . Needlework is plain half hitching and Turk's Head is 4Lx5B...
