2011 August 13th Miche SINCE : un gainage
en T / a sleeve with a 'T' shape
Michel m'a demandé si j'avais des notions à propos de ce qui est (très
mal à propos
car il ne s'agit en rien de BT même si les "pièces" de départ sont des
BT: un cheval et un
âne peuvent avoir une progéniture mule ou mulet (jument X
âne) d'une part et bardot
(ânesse X cheval ) d'autre part, mais la progéniture n'est cependant ni
âne, ni cheval !)
appelé bonnet turc en T .
N'ayant pas de notion valant le partage j'ai lancé un appel à Jimmy
R. Williams (secrétaire
Igkt-PAB) qui a relayé mon appel à Pat DUCEY ; John RICHINGS, Glenn
DICKEY
( igkt NAB).
John a partagé plusieurs documents, Glenn également et Pat quant à lui
a fourni sa grille de
gainage en croix à 6 BIGHTS.
Là-dessus Michel a opté pour la poursuite solitaire de sa propre piste
et il à fort bien fait
puisque voici le résultat de la 'fusion' d'un BT 14L 3B et
d'un BT 7L 4B de sa façon.
Un tuto est en cours de rédaction par Michel mais je voulais publié
cela sans tarder.
Michel asked me if I had some notions about what is call most
improperly THK with a 'T'
shape or with a cross shape. Improperly because it is certainly NOT any
THK and NOT
EVEN any Regular Knot ! Juts as a mule is neither horse nor ass !
Having no notion worth sharing I ask help to Jimmy R.
Williams (Igkt-PAB) who relayed
the call to Pat DUCEY ; John RICHINGS, Glenn DICKEY
( igkt NAB).
John shared several documents, Glenn did the same and Pat send his own
grid for a
6 BIGHT CROSS
At that point Michel decided to make forth on his own trail and he was
quite right in doing
that as here you see his own fusion of two THK : 14 L 3 B
confluing with a 7L 4 B.
A tutorial is being prepared and should be shortly published in SINCE_TUTS
Added
2011 July 17th Some new spherical
covering fromNancy Barnhart roving the States !
Added
2011 July 5th A new F.E.G (effigy , a

camel and its rider. Nice, as usual.
FCB is really full of imagination and talent.
Added
2011 July 3rd Brian O'NEEL send me a
personal gift
:
LITTLE LUMP KNOT keyfob. I
got 3 days ago.
This gift was accompanied by a touching ( French mind map, I suppose
that for you it will
be 'moving' as in isuicing "moves in the inner being' ) letter
explaining why this gift intended
since the end of 2009 was only arriving now .
Brian certainly has a memory retention that is out of the
common showing that this
gift is not a trivial gesture.
Brian
took a liking to the Little Lump Knot from a
tutorial found on Dan Callahan's web
site (
http://knotical-arts.com/lump.html ) he created his own creative
adaptation of it
and this is what I
now have ( another piece of someone's live ) in my treasures glass case.

SCK Nancy
tried her hand, with success IMO, on John RICHINGS's 1000FACES Spherical
cover Knot.
She made itin 3 colours. Nice ! The show
Added
2011 June 22nd FCB ( Frank Charles Brown) Frank
made another F.E.G : I really like this "charming
the rope" trick
Added 2011 June 21st John added to his totem
pole one FAST HELIX (a Schaake's knot) and
one PAMPAS
knot (in my How to make page) ( Regular knots, single STRAND
made
on a THK cordage route : RKnot BUILDER was the tool use for the coding
)
Added 2011 May 27th John RICHINGS TOTEM POLE
(rather than Walking Stick)
John made his diagram and table of coding with RKnot Builder and
...voilà :
a nice red knot.
Added 2011 May 19th WELCOME to the new guy in
the block : JP HONEYWELL.(aka KNOTICAL)
JP,
realising that COVERING
or COVER is
NOT a TYPE of knot but a FUNCTION
of
some knots makes a very original contribution with the360
FACEs
born-as-a-spherical
cover transferred to a novel FUNCTION
:
POLYHEDRON COVER.
JP is making a whole range of cover and is now tackling the 1000 FACEs
spherical covering
invented by John RICHINGS.
Here
is the slideshow of the works I got
today.
Observe that, contrary to what happen much too often, JP's work
is regular in its setting,
here you will not see one pull over
tight, one not nearly enough, one just enough and so on ...
Here is, in his own words, a small intro about JP Honeywell aka knotical
[open quote]
I have been tying decorative knots for
over 40 years but it is only
since May 2009
(following the death of my step-mother) that I have made
a serious effort to improve my
ability.
My father is an avid sailor and I was his crew from the age of 3. I
borrowed my father's
ABoK and started decorative knotting at age 12.
Several years later, he made me return it
and I was forced to buy my
own ABoK. :o( For many years following, I mostly made
ocean plait
and prolong mats, simple turks head and monkey fist knots and the
occasional
coxcombing.
When I became serious again about decorative knotting, I started with
monkey fist knots
and slightly more complex turks head knots before
progressing to much larger, more
complex turks head knots (such as
water bottle coverings) and relatively simple globe knots.
Recently, I have been trying larger and more complex globe knots. I
honestly don't know
how many other people have tied a 1,000 facet globe
knot, but I would be surprised if more
than 10 people in the world have
attempted it.
I live in the Chicagoland area with my exceedingly patient wife and
daughter (who is my
apprentice) in a small house with a great deal of
cordage. :o)
More of my work can be seen in the following public Facebook galleries:
I can tell you that the neat and clean work that JP makes
will raise your interest if only for its variety, originality
and intelligence.
Here is a light sample I made of his work.(with
his permission)
SPECIAL MENTION : look at the 15th photo, the impressive stack of
bookmarks
between the covered cube and the covered cork bottle
stoppers,Well this is the work of
JP's special assistant : his
daughter Christine. Bravo jeune fille ! Christine also laid the pink
bottle cover that JP dressed. A mighty feat IMO.

two days ago
( May 7th ) a thick envelope was among my mail : a gift coming from
Nancy BARNHART : two of her creations .
As each time someone gives me some item coming from their brain and
hands work
I feel very privileged to be given what for me is a piece of their life
time. Those
two knots are now in the glass case where I hoard my small
treasures.
