I bet it's incredibly handy even off a boat. All I know are the running knot and the trucker's hitch (to tie my kayak down to my car). Wow, that’s cool, Joel.

When I was a youngster I took up knitting with the idea of knitting myself a scarf. In my youthful impatience, I'm afraid it ended up as a knitted hankie. But as I matured and learned splicing, knotting, plaiting sennets, coachwhipping, coxcombing, square knotting, hanging monkey fur .... all useful pursuits aboard a windship. I think I know a bit of what you are talking about.
