Hi. I haven't been active at knotting in many years, haven't been on this forum, just got an email from a friend about this. Unfortunately I won't be available until late July, but if you get no responses by then feel free to contact me. I live near Wheaton, am retired, and would be happy to spend an afternoon with a knottyer, haven't seen any such in years. However, I am by no means an expert. I spent many enjoyable years learning a bit of this and that from some really excellent knottters, produced some credible results, but today could certainly not whip out a gaucho knot from memory. What I could do is sit with you, with whatever tutorial you have found that you want to try, I could work with you on it, and, having gone through the learning process myself, possibly pass on some useful advice. Or at least encouragement. I would not charge for that, of course, it would be fun to tie a knot or two after all these years. Let me know if this is of interest to you.
