What's Knot to Love?

All of you Bondage Babies out there go to classes, practice, and "borrow bodies" to wrap and cinch and tie up. We have heard that breaking t he bondage habit requires a 12 step program. So herewith are a few places to get you a daily dose when you can't get to a full meeting.
The International Guild of Knot Tyers has several branches. This is the organization to join if you are a serious knot tyer. Its journal, Knotting Matters, is the only English-language print journal devoted exclusively to knots.
The North American Branch has its own web page. The NAB publishes the InterKnot newsletter.
