Hi All,I came across an interesting - if very specific - website earlier today. It's called Animated Knots.com and can be found by clicking on this link.
Who knew that there were knots for rock climbing, fishing, splicing, scouting and surgical purposes? Well, there are! (And, by the way, this is just a brief list of the types of knots on the site! There are many, many more listed.) Click on this link for a complete list of the various knots listed on the site.
When users click on one of the types of knots, you are connected to a new page with a list of the specific knots on the left side of the page. Clicking on any of the names of the knots brings you to a new page which enables the user to view a video creating the knot. Users can play the video in either a continuous loop or watch the video in slow, medium or fast mode.
Videos are in color and the level of detail is superb. Users will learn how to create a particular knot very easily with these high quality videos.
Also, apps for AnimatedKnots.com are available for iOS/Mac, Android and Windows devices.
Finally, there are descriptions of how to create the knot. The narrative has sections for features of the knot, uses of the knot, how to tie the knot and advantages of using that particular knot.
So...if you need a knot - check out AnimatedKnots.com - you'll be happy you did!
Regards,
Stu
