Knottingpedia - knot books

20 05, 2008

Here are the books that have introduced me to the history and techniques of the art of knotting:

English

• The Ultimate Encyclopedia of Knots & Ropework by Geoffrey Budworth
• The Complete Book of Knots and Ropework by Geoffrey Budworth
• Knots (Collins Need to Know) by Geoffrey Budworth
• Chinese Knots for Beaded Jewellery by Suzen Millodot
• Celtic Knots for Beaded Jewellery by Suzen Millodot
• Chinese Knotting: Creative Designs that are Easy and Fun! by Lydia Chen
• Fun With Chinese Knotting: Making Your Own Fashion Accessories and Accents by Lydia Chen
• The Complete Book of Chinese Knotting: A Compendium of Techniques and Variations by Lydia Chen [Techniques are more for an experienced knotter]

Japanese

• 
  モダンテイストの結びアクセサリー by 知光薫
  [To me, the instructions here were the easiest to follow when I first began knotting.]

• 
  アジア結びのアクセサリー by 知光薫

• 
  結んで作るアクセサリーと雑貨 by 雄鷄社

There are more jap books (which I wish to read) over here, here and here.

You can see how I apply some of the techniques on my current bloom knot collection at the Bloom Blest shop.
