Look weird for you english speakers that this sentence is understandable for us that we don’t speak that language and we don’t know when use “that that” or “that this”.
That’s it

Believe me, plenty of native English speakers don’t either! xwi2Y3G

How did you know I love knots? wtf

The more serious book of knots is in storage. I do, however, like to keep this one handy.

Thank you SO much for posting that! That’s staying in my tabs for certain. For complex knots with multiple strands, static drawings can sometimes be difficult to discern. That is one cool ass website!

Again, thank you for posting it!! d8JBdDJ

Yeah, I struggle sometimes with the drawings, and the fact that you can even reverse it so it’s like “post on left, post on right” or whatever so you can visualize it exactly how you’ll be tying is fantastic.

I hope it’s useful!

I don’t, but the name Bruce Smith is somehow very familiar. It was likely published after my last knot tying book was bought.

When I looked that one up, I saw a picture of one of my other knot tying books.
