THE EVER YTHING KNOTS BOOK

For One and All
As you have learned in this chapter, knot tying has been
around for as long as humans have had a use for knots. Taking
their cue from the natural world around them, early humans used
knots to make their weapons, catch food, build shelters, create dec-
orations and adornments, and even keep records. Knots are no less
useful today than they were in ancient times. Modern humans are
continuing to find new uses for knots and create new ones. Are
you ready to join the ranks of the knot makers?

ALERT!

Your knotting skill can be applied to many new activities you
may take up. Whether it’s a craft or an outdoor activity such as
sailing or fishing, your knotting skills will take you a long way.
