KNOTS

Fisherman's Knot

The fisherman's knot is used for joining two fine lines such as fishing leaders.
It is simply two overhand knots, one holding the right-hand line, and the the other
the left-hand line. Pull each of the two overhand knots taut separately. Then make
the whole knot taut so the two overhand knots come together by pulling on the
standing parts of each line.


Miller's Knot

This is a close relative of the clove hitch and is used in tying sacks with
heavy string or cord. Note that the first turn around the sack leads over the
forefinger and the others pass under all fingers.


Double Carrick Bend

The double carrick bend is used for joining 2 very thick ropes at the end,
usually used by towboats to tow large cargo ships. the ends should be tied
together.

HAVE YOU HAD YOUR BREAKFAST ?

I was browsing my daily dose of blogs and came across SimplyBreakfast. Somebody is apparently documenting what he/she has been eating for breakkie EVERYDAY! Not only they all look very tasty, the styling - napkins, plates, cuppa tea, food layout, and the raw timber table top are simply delightful.

Telling myself: Time to eat breakfast regularly.
