The author must have read my comments on wanting to tie the dragonfly knot pictured in the first book, because here it is in all its glory. There are lots of diagrams and staged photographs to follow in here, including one for the gorgeous Guinevere knot, to actually pin on the board and fix your cord to. There are ideas on dyeing cords to match your outfits, and not only rat tail gets used but other cords including leather thonging, the latter to great effect. You can use these knotted pieces to showcase some wonderful beads (if you have them) or use up oddments from other projects like I do, and like the author also does in various examples. This is a great hands-on book that will take pride of place next to the other two on my keeper shelves. Also, here is a craft that does not cost a lot of money, which is all to the good. Another useful and attractive primer on an unusual subject.

If you cannot find a good range of cords and beads in this book locally try SearchPress.com for a list of suppliers.
