This is an incredible knot site. You’ll find specific knots for all occasions. In each section, there will be a center area surrounded by different knots. If you mouse over the different knots, a description will come up in the center area. You can then choose a knot and you will be taken to its page.
Once you’ve chosen a knot, you will find an animation of how to tie that knot. The animation can be slowed down for easier viewing and you can even flip the direction of the knot so that you can see it tied from a different angle.

Cool site!
When I was a sea scout I had lots of fun making knots...

As a sailor, I have to wonder why we have knots that make things stay and knots that describe motion through the water.
Two of the most important and opposite states are called the same thing. Making stay and making way.
Yet we have the nerve to differentiate between beer and grub.

Hmmm...Isn't that what Jimmy Buffett was talkin' about in Cheeseburger in Paradise when he sang "Makin' way without speed spittin' sunflower seeds"?

I object to having to learn how to tie knots to become a Boy Scout! I'm going to form "NKI"!

A rope walks into a bar and asks for a beer.
The bartender says, we don't serve your kind in here.
The rope says, what do mean?
The bartender says, we don't serve ropes in here.
Angry, the rope goes into the bathroom, ties himself into a half hitch and unravels his ends.
The rope then goes back up to the bar and asks for a beer.
The bartender says, I thought I told you we don't serve ropes in here, you're a rope aren't you?
The rope says, nope, frayed knot.
Sorry, I couldn't help it. http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif
