Illusion, magic, and handiwork

Knots

Simple and functional knots:


Decorative knots:


A bygone art
created by sailors in their idle time
from Fair Winds Nautical
(look for "The Rope Speaks")

Model of a knot:

by Professor Carlo H. Sequin
from the Art and Math Conference of 1998

The Thistlethwaite Link Table
(where, if you are brave, you can
see everything all at once)

and the Rolfsen Knot Table
in one big mosaic

I'm glad somebody keeps track of this stuff.
