The music is as soft and gentle weaving through the strains of time. Your artistry is a beauty from the heart. Thank you so much.

After years of watching your films, I am still captivated, not to mention, impressed by your craftsmanship.

Thank you for sharing your skills with us, Mikko! I am using the splicing with a footrope knot to make the loop end of hanging cords for pictures. I unravel the tails & comb them out for a tassel. I'm really pleased with the way they are turning out. Thank you!

Nice project, great music and what a pretty little fid.

[davegehr]

Very nice Mikko, and practical too. We have a pair of rescued greyhounds who will be at the end of these leashes when I make them. Perfect, and thank you for this timely tutorial.

Made 1 today from 12mm cotton rope. took about 30 min work and 2 hours watching the video before hand, really pleased with the result

I have made a few of these. It's a great pattern to follow. My dog likes a slip lead, so instead of the back splice finished with a Matthew Walker, I made a small eye splice, finished with the MW, and pulled the body of the leash though. Works great. I have also used this pattern to finish a monkey's fist heaving line: splicing the ends of the monkey's fist and finishing with a MW, and then adding an eye splice on the other end, finished with a footrope knot. Thanks Mikko! I look forward to getting the line, tool, and kits I ordered.

Looking forward to giving this a go. The line I have is all one colour so I might need to mark each strand somehow, can already see me spending 4hrs on this!!

I had to come up with this on my own years ago and it’s VERY reassuring that a professional does nearly identically the same thing. Only thing I do differently is a crown knot before I start splicing the hand loop. I can pull everything tighter and keeps the line from idling through and bunching up. (By NO MEANs saying mine or yours is better or worse, just differences).

Brilliantly! Long ago I wanted to learn to spin so. Thanks! Very useful video.

You're a very talented man it's a bit confusing watching the knots being made but after a while it will all make sense I will have a go when I get the tools and materials 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Happy New Year Mikko I am 81 yrs old and I felt that I was pretty good at tying knots, but I purchased an ipad awhile ago and I was browsing around and I came across knot tying by Mikko Snellman I am amazed and flabbergasted at what I have seen you do and that I am Long way from knowing how to tie knots. I watch your knot tying for about six (6) hours almost every day. Keep up the magneficant work it leaves me in awe every day. Where do you buy all your working tools. And also where to purchase your book.🏡🌲☃️🏘️
