Pineapple knots

[cjswim]

Yes, probably beating a dead horse, but I was hoping someone could give me a good tutorial for pineapple knots. Yep! I am a newbie and to make matters worse, I am not great on the computer but I am learning. I have seen much of the great work on this site and all the experienced braiders and knot tyers kind of gloss over this as if to say "of course". Please don't thin the heard yet. I am trying to catch up, really.

Hi - I think I already told you about this site, and perhaps it did not work for you, but just in case you missed it the first time here it is again: Knot Heads World Wide . There are lots of tutorials on the site under the section marked tutorials... and I know there are pineapple knots included. Since there are a variety maybe there will be one there that catches your fancy.

First thing: Stop demeaning yourself. Not a single person on this forum, or any other for that matter, picked up a strip of leather or a coil of line and said "Today, I will make _______, and be the master of it." It takes a bit of learning, and lots of practice. Drop a PM to Horsehair Braider and ask how long she's been working at her art, or ask Myriam (who posted the excellent 4 strand round braid tutorial). The first roundbraid I did, I was checking the photos, correcting the problem, recheck, etc. Now, I do it while I'm watching TV ( and still backing up and correcting some errors from time to time).

This forum exists for people to share and learn;...those that know how helping others learn. And to make friends on the internet who share a love for leather and related crafts.

I do happen to be a little good at this computer thing, and share some common interests such as knot tying. However, I am NOT an expert on braiding/weaving/tying..I'm still learning, too. I just happen to know where to look for some things. Here's a link to a very nice knot tying website click me . There's lots of useful things on there, so check out the whole site.

Now, you have been reprimanded for being overly appologetic (even if it isn't my place to do so), and given sources to achieve your goals. Go tie some knots and post pics so we can see them. Ask questions when you have them, use the answers, then ask more. When you get pretty good at something, pass the knowledge along.
