    Default The other other other knots!

    How many different knots do you know how to tie? I'm no Scout so I can tie shoe knots and my taekwondo belt but that's about it. x3

    When I did mountain climbing I could tie roughly 500,000 billion different types. Now I can tie shoelaces, standard knots, and my BJJ belt. I also can make up (accidentally figure out?) knots that work really well for different situations. Cool stuff!

    Shoelaces, slip knot (the one used for hangings), and a trucker's hitch knot.

    I'm all sorts of useful.

    I just twist things until they tie, so infinite, I suppose.

    I invented my own knot once upon a time (I'm sure it wasn't new at all but I made it up myself!) and it was really strong and pretty easy to tie. Then I forgot how it went.

    I used to be able to tie knots because I was in the military. I forgot how immediately after learning.

    When I was 5, I had great difficulty tying my shoelaces!
    And I suppose you could say that I can tie ties. Sort of.
