Thanks you Emma for reminding me of knots. I'll try to practice on some pieces of rope o have throw somewhere between my tools. It might even help me understand how to make a proper knot to secure my rope for adjusting bindings and purflings on instruments. That's usually a problem.
Anyhow, that memory gets me each time. People pretending to get fancy and failing is one of those pleasures of life to watch. 😂
