Tying knots, practicing new ones or even inventing something different is a good start. This may eventually spark your curiosity and inspire you to make something memorable and more long lasting…
Over the years I have been playing with strings, I learnt some fancy knots and tried making something of it. I have covered knife handles, made “Jewellery” of a sort, covered cigar tubes in which I carry needles and small items.
I am not the most sucessful in these but persist and will have something to show for it if I should ever move ashore…
Imagination, some patience and very few tools are all that is required to help while away long hours off watch.
