Looking for a good knot tying tutorial? Then Animated Knots by Grog is the place to visit. While SUNY Maritime instructor GPS is famous for saying “You can do anything with these two knots…” there are others I tend to use a lot including the rolling hitch (aka timber hitch), figure eight and square knot. Grog has the knots you need in an easy to learn format.
Bonus points to the commenter who correctly identifies GPS’s two favorite knots.

Awesome website. I had the hardest time when I was in the Boy Scouts learning to tie knots from books. If I watched someone do it a couple of times, I could get it down but working from tiny line drawings just frustrated me.
