Knowing how to tie a useful knot is a skill that doesn't get much attention outside of sailing and rock climbing, but although I do neither of those things, I like learning new knots. They come in handy in the garden, the kitchen, and any time I have to move something on or in a vehicle.

If you'd like to learn to be more handy with rope and string, I suggest this website, where you can learn new knots. You can easily go step by step, reverse, or even re-orient the knot to see how it looks from another angle. It's called "Animated Knots." They even have neckties!

Looking for bead knotting ie knots to hold beads in place on a string. I know there are tools for this but I think it can be done just with hands. Any suggestions welcome.

@TheDailyBurble A simple web search will give you lots of results.

@StaceyCornelius @killick , Yes it does indeed, but the knot site is so lovely that was linked. I'm not asking out of laziness but out of knowing if anyone knows things about knots, I'll find them here.

It has been a long time since someone told me to just go and do my own homework when I asked for advice. It made me laugh.
