A Nifty knot App

[transmaster]

I don't know where to put this, but this is a very handy app. "Knots 3D" I have had this App loaded on my iPhones and iPads for years. There is also an Android version.

Handy. The Ashley Book of Knots lists more than 3,900 knots, but it weighs about five pounds.

As long as it's not a Naughty Knot App!

Awesome! I was just looking at knots the other day so I can rig up some beams for a treehouse. Such an underrated skill to have

Thanks for the move. I really didn't know where this posting belonged.

Here is another knot app I have had loaded for years.

Haven't used the app in awhile, but it is great. I used it to learn some handy knots on the PCT.

Very cool! I hope you are not getting commissions!

I purchased this app years ago. I am a firm believer in supporting such apps; you get what you pay for. This app is regularly updated, and you can suggest knots to be added.

It cost less than a book would. Watching the animation of the knots forming is mesmerizing

I didn’t mind purchasing it for a one time fee. I do not like subscriptions

Thread 'Knots'

Knots have fascinated me lately, I've made a lot of lanyards that use Diamond knots, Wide Diamond knots and snake knots as well as a whipping knot to keep the lanyard in place.

But recently learned of a knot called a Reever Bend. This is the type of knot used to tie two ends of cordage together, either to end up with a loop or just to extend a length of cord.

Through some weird Twilight Zone type happenstance, I quoted the two posts above and wrote a reply, but the reply got posted to the "Knots" thread! I guess cyberspace got twisted into a knot somehow.
