  1. TIL that Frank Vigor Morley (1899–1980) published a paper in 1924 showing how to knot two strips of paper into a regular hexagon and one strip into a regular heptagon (and generalised into a regular polygon of any odd number of sides). origamiheaven.com/historyanote

    He was the son of Frank Morley (1860–1937), known for Morley’s triangle en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morley%2, amongst other things.

  2. My online Moby Dick book club's reading for the week starts with Chapter 47, "The Mat Maker", which opens with Queequeg and Ishmael working on sword mats. Since on the nerd Venn diagram I sit at the intersection of "in an online Moby Dick book club" *and* "a member of the International Guild of Knot Tyers"", I decided to tie an example of a sword mat (which is the flat part of this assembly; the ring at the end is technically a simple ringbolt hitch.)

  12. 這幾天我是走什麼運
    可愛動物被姨母們包圍嗎

    今天有個舊友臨時PM
    說剛好來出差 過來看看我
    這朋友是同鄉
    當年因緣際會認識後才知高職時我們好一段時間搭同一部校車
    緣份真的妙不可言

    雖然在臉書都會看到彼此動態
    但 算算竟然有十年沒見了
    而朋友一出現就提著大包小包遞上
    新鮮食材 冷凍食品 桶升水 衛生紙
    我笑翻
    他說雖然不知道我的現況
    但記憶中一直是個營養不良的竹竿
    看了我本人後我又被嘖嘖一番:
    要好好吃飯啦!

    下午
    暢聊幾小時還沒聊夠就傍晚了
    但朋友趕今天回家
    理智必須出場 宴席必須停下

    帶著溫馨的心情
    我在粉專把新手繩小品貼文亮相
    寫首短詩跟客人交代我為何消失了一個月+
    我好棒

    好吧
    害羞地首度在這露出
    我的品牌

  14. A small knot practice area and instructional card at Museum Spakenburg. Because I know quite a few knots, this is always an interesting view into a language I don't speak. Since there was a length of rope that was otherwise unoccupied I left them a small Turk's head. In English, clockwise from top, these would be a bowline, a fisherman's knot, a figure eight stopper, a square knot (aka a reef knot), and a sheet bend.

  24. Another article about the #MonkeyFistsKnot version of the #Boleadora (#Bolas) by Mike the Mycologist!

    "The bola (Spanish for ball) is a throwing weapon that generally consists of three weights on the end of three ropes (that's a good one on one correspondence example for all you people taking pre-algebra). The purpose of the bola is designed to rap around the animals legs and make them trip and fall, this weapon is most famous in Argentina. To make the bola wrap around the animals legs better, one of the weights is smaller and/or lighter.

    "Many of you have probable seen the move 'Kangaroo Jack' were they try to catch the kangaroo using bolas. If you're like me you would have been amazed and thought about how you could make one.

    "In this #instructable, I will show you how to make a monkey's fist bola."

  25. [Thread] So, what's been on my mind? Why #bolas! (And some folks already know why). And, being one who appreciates #DIY, I just had to find some articles to post on different methods to make bolas (I love the #crochet method -- so punk!)

    Here is the first one, involving knots and golf balls...

    Knot of the Week: DIY Boleadora Throwing Weapon using Monkey’s Fists

    By The ITS Crew

    "On today’s Knot of the Week, we’re going to go over instructions for creating your own Bola or Boleadora from natural fiber rope and a few golf balls for weighted cores. While we’ve gone over the Monkey’s Fist Knot in a previous KOTW, we’ve never show in quite like this.

    "Bolas throwing weapons were primarily used by South American Gauchos to capture/hobble running cattle or game, by utilizing an over-the-head swinging motion and releasing it on target. While I’m sure our readers could come up with a multitude of uses for these, one could come in handy in case of Zombies! [Or against #drones]

    DIY Boleadora

    "What we’ve created is a version that features two heavier weighted balls and one lightweight ball on a slightly longer cord. This follows tradition, as when throwing the Boleadora, you simply grasp the lightweight end and swing it over your head.

    "Upon releasing, the heavier ends allow the weapon to fly as the lightweight end wraps upon impact. Ideally you want to hit your target with the middle of the Boleadora so that both the heavier ends and the lightweight end end up wrapping.

    While the traditional #Boleadora utilizes stones or much heavier objects, we’re going to stick with golf balls for the heavier ends and a plastic practice golf ball for the lightweight end."

  28. 做一些視覺畫面相關的工作時
    很容易視覺麻痺
    一時鬼遮眼

    今晚在弄報名市集的雜事
    翻照片來整理
    怎麼以前沒注意過這張
    混在一堆類似構圖中直接消失
    但裁一下比例就亮起來了
    搞那麼久沒這款的照片能用
    結果根本就有
