I remember (back in the day) MEing a touring show of The Hobbit for an uncomfortably long period time and I brought a knot book up with me and basically memorized several dozen new knots. Boy did THAT ever reap dividends down the road . . .

I really like that idea. I usually play with rope or tie line during shows and make various knots. I tend to make nooses, only because it takes time and some amount of concentration. Though I think I will begin to work on some other either from a book or online.

How often do you discover "spare time" for just skills building?? Happy knotting!

This is a 2.5 hour show that not even the actors can explain to me, and we have 7 runs of it. How much spare time do you think I have...
