Rope Mats

I was introduced to knotting when my son was a cub scout. There he learnt some simple and some complicated knots including Turk's head knot. As time went on he moved onto other things but I was hooked. I tried some simple knots and bought my first knot book "The ultimate encyclopedia of knots and ropework" by Geoffrey Budworth. This is a beautifully illustrated book and I have found it extremely useful.
Above is a picture of rope mats I made a long time ago using instructions in this book. I used synthetic rope I found in Lowe's. Since the rope is very soft, they (the mats), however, do not hold well to handling. So I have bought stiffer rope to duplicate these knots. I will post pictures once I have completed that set.
