Glossary update and overhaul complete for
now. The simple one page glossary has
been replaced by 6 pages (and counting?). Material that I generated
for the PDFs that went with my online classes, reprocessed for web
use.

TL;DR: excuse the mess, it should get better quickly?
The last time I "officially" changed anything on this site was
in 2010. It's not that I was inactive or gave up on knots. I
taught over 6 online courses and generating hours of video and
many pages of instructions. I also posted many things to
Instagram. I
was not even inactive here. I reworked and rewrote this site at
least 3 times. Each time was not good enough, though. I
stopped myself from publically updating the site because it
would be better to just leave it alone than put out something
that was imperfect. Each year I would resolve to "get it right"
and then get it out. At new years or xmas, more recently
World
Knot Tying Day. Usually Chinese New Year. Target
deadlines came and went. Time flew by like leaves in autumn.
So it is that this year I drew an arbitrary line in the sand and
decided that no matter the current state of the site, I would
put it out for CNY. I would leverage the
unmitigated shame of having this horrific mess out in
public to make myself make progress, rapidly?
On the bright side, I have made this site so out of date and
irrelevant that maybe one or two of you will notice the atrocity
before I fix it. 😅🤣🫣😱😓🤪

- People keep asking me where to buy string, and I've decided
to do something about it. I'll be opening an online store in
February, 2005, but would like to hear more about what you
want in a store. To that end, I have created a survey to begin to capture your thoughts
on the topic.
