Actually, I do appreciate Mark's reply, though I expected some explanation
of why these knots belong in a 'significant' collection.
I was originally vague on purpose. I expected this newsgroup to respond with
nautical bias for obvious reasons. I do want this particular project to be
nautically oriented, but might want to try another without nautical bias.
But that's for another time and another newsgroup.

Thanks to all,
Doug

Is that it? Can't think of any more knot links? Sheesh!

My wife bought me a shadow box in which to place a collection of
knots.
If
you've ever been to Horatio's in San Leandro, CA you know just what I
mean.

At any rate, I'm interested in knots of significance that I should
include
in this collection. I do have Ashley's Book of Knots. It certainly
appears
to be the definitive source on knots, but there is no list of
'Significant
Knots'.

I expect the completed display will be between 15 and 25 knots.

I have chosen 3 knots for this project so far. They a Figure( of )
Eight,
Reef, and Bowline.
Why? Because they seem to me to be essential knots to know.

Which knots would you include? How about your 'top 25'? And if you
care
to
explain, why should the knot be included?

Please note that my 'reply to' email address is not valid, so if
you're
inclined to reply please do so to the newsgroup.

Thank You,
Doug
