I seem to be in a bit of a rope phase!
Bowline
Sheet bend (single & double)
Clove hitch
Round turn & 2 half hitches
Reef knot
Figure of 8
We all seem to learn the big 7. What other knot, in your opinion, should we learn and use. What for & why?
Cheers

I like this one. My family were lightermen on the Thames from at least the early 1700s. I really should put it in my repertoire.

Ah, just had a go at that - a good knot and easy to tie. Thanks for the suggestion.
