I’ve been tying knots lately. It’s another one of my hobbies.

I guess you could say I’ve been “knotty.”

Had pasta tonight.

Jared, those knots are cool! Can you give us the names of them (if they have a name), and how they're used?

 

[jnicholes]

Truckers hitch. Used to secure loads to a truck or trailer. Gives a mechanical advantage.

Spanish bowline. I don’t know about it’s use.

Alpine Butterfly knot. I think it’s used for putting a loop in mid line.

Sheep shank. Used to temporarily shorten a rope.

Bowline. Used to put a loop an the end of a line that does not get bigger or smaller.

Two half hitches. Used to secure a rope to a pole.

This is all to the best of my knowledge, by the way.

Well, hubby's celebration went well, they loved the cake and somebody wanted to buy one for a celebration but I said no, I’m quite good at cooking/baking, but if it counts, I usually mess up, it kind of stresses me out

Ah! I'd heard of these knots, but had never seen one or heard what it was used for.

Thank you!

I asked DH what kind of pie he wanted for Thanksgiving. This is a typical hubby reply to this kind of question:

"I can't lemon meringue think of what kind of pie we should have."
