Sailor's Knots

6/24/2016

 
Wonder Bread does it again! This is another one of its advertising giveaways. Most of them are pretty good and this wheel about knots is no exception. This one is just over four inches across. I don't know how old this is but, if you look closely, you can see the word "sliced" on the loaf of bread. Fancy!

I love this little wheel. It's really quite practical. I need to find me some rope so I can practice some of these in case of an emergency. I've always thought that knowing how to tie knots might save me were I to become marooned on an island somewhere. Marooned with a lot of rope.

​This wheel shows how to make the knot and says what it's good for. Some of these are pretty complicated. I wonder how many Boy Scouts used this wheel to earn a badge?
