I collect knots.
In my apprenticeship I learned 26 knots and splices for fibre rope, most of them antiquated and unused today. It fascinated me, the knowledge and skills that were so important not long ago and now are almost lost so I got together all the literature I could find and I learn knots.
I once tied hundreds of Carrick Bends to make a hammock.
I'm the only knot nerd I know.
