    PUNK MUSIC

    Despair sings of hope
    Your shoulders support
    My aching life
    Later, then, jumping
    "I never give up"
    My grateful grin
    A half-revolution

    A big thank you goes out to you, because I'm listening to your music right now.

    PUNKMUSIC

    Verzweiflung besingt Hoffnung
    Eure Schultern stützen
    Mein schmerzendes Leben
    Später dann hüpfend
    "Ich gebe niemals auf"
    Mein dankbares Grinsen
    Eine halbe Revolution

  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.)

  6. 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.

  8. A small lanyard for to hold my badge at this weekend's International Guild of Knot Tyers-North America annual meeting at the New Bedford Whaling Museum. Relatively simple as these things go, just something I could complete in an evening.

  10. "Fáilte"
    Teableau for 08/26/25

    It means "Welcome." It's for a friend's grandbaby who is right now in the process of making his entry into the world. Safe journey, little one.

  11. Well, it's the tail end of #WorldKnotTyingDay (marked on the anniversary of Clifford W. Ashley's death.) I had grabbed the supplies to make this bellrope a few weeks back, and finally put the homemade fid to good use making it tonight.

    This one is my stab at Mikko Snellman's one-piece bellrope, tied in 8mm hemp. Still needs to have the strays burned off and to be shellacked.

  13. J'ai pas mal de boulot en ce moment alors pas le temps de blogger ou publier des #entrelacs mais si vous avez envie de découvrir le décryptage d'une page de manuscrit du 12e siècle qui représente un calendrier circulaire, j'avais fait ça il y a quelques temps, avec les traductions, les explications et un tas de liens si vous ça vous intéresse de creuser

  15. Just a couple of Portuguese sennit (Solomon Bar/Square-knotted) bracelets tied up in 3mm cotton, just for the heck of it. Footrope knots for the fastening buttons, left a bit of the ends frayed out, again for the heck of it.

  17. Have a rope splicing project on the to-do list, and the hemp line I'm working with is pretty stiff. Haven't owned a decent splicing/Swedish fid in years, so made myself one from a scrap of 1/2" copper pipe and a bit of oak dowel. Not too bad considering I did this all with hand tools, whittled handle and all, although I'm going to take a second stab at it with the other section of copper pipe.

  19. Had a request from one of the offspring, so tied up another one. Same dealio: bellrope-style keyfob, Matthew Walker knot at the loop, crown sinnet, and a footrope knot.

  21. A bellrope-style keychain pendant, tied in 3mm cotton cord. The loop is the center of the two cords, unlaid then relaid together, joined with a 4-strand Matthew Walker Knot, a sequence of Crown Sinnet, finished with a Footrope Knot.

  23. A 5-lead, 4-bight Turk's Head converted into a Gaucho knot, then doubled. At least, I'm pretty sure I got the conversion right—this is a new one to me.

  25. Bought a small set of tools sized for the small cord I've been using (and paracord), which came with this marlinspike/case. Re-tied the paracord lanyard it came with with something a bit more decorative than the overhand knot it came with, and tied a purely decorative 4B5L turk's head around the case itself, just because.

  27. A 7-bight, 3-lead (7B3L) Turk's Head, tied as a mat, basically using the technique of ABOK#1217.

    A 3-lead Turk's Head is pretty much the first "fancy" knot I learned, and I have tied many, many, many 3-lead Turk's Heads over the years back in my camp days, but not usually as mats (except for the occasional knot board).

  29. A globe knot, ABOK#2218, tied with two strands and doubled, covering a ping-pong ball. The 4 ends are tied off with a double wall knot (from memory, didn't look up the number in the Ashley book.)
