I recently bought a Digital Camera and uninstalled a computer game. Hope this explains these posts. Anyway one of my hobby has been nautical knots. I put the turks head on the torpedo knobs because while I crank I missed lots of hooks ups because the fingers would slip off of these old handles. I like the older colored knobs that Penn used to make on my Jigmasters.

Ken, there are couple books which are good. Ashleys book of knots by Clifford Asheley is very comprehensive and it is a good reference. Too much information unfortunately. Next book is smaller and has good illustrations. The Complete Book of Decorative Knots (Complete)by Geoffrey Budworth. I am not a pro wrapper so I do not know what the Charlotte event is about. If you have specific questions I will send you my email address to your AOL account.
