Greetings,

I think it would nice to have a monthly or bi-weekly knot workshop.
It seems there is a lot of interest... but lets see how many people
actually show up.

I like the idea because I know there are lots of knots I need to learn
and practice;
and it's more fun to work with others...

People should keep in mind that there is still room to be creative and
invent new knots to solve practical problems. People have been tying
knots for thousands of years yet the icicle hitch was invented in 1990
