My Stomach is in Knots!

Is your stomach hurting from the stress of trying to proofread a legal brief or get through a horribly written script? What better way to relieve the pressure on your brain than by learning how to tie a few knots?

First let's learn the basic slip knot, which comes in handy when you don't want to spend too much time untying something later.




If you are in a more sartorial mood, learn how to tie a bow tie! It's a great skill to have and is much easier than people think.




And last but (k)not least, here's a sailing knot called a Carrick Bend used to join two separate lines. You can practice at home with dental floss. If you are out of dental floss, now is surely the time to go to the store and buy some. When you are finished, give your teeth an extra thorough flossing to kill a little more time.



WARNING: This project may just make you more crazy and stressed than you were in the first place!
