About the Author

Lindsey Philpott (1948 - ) was born in England, where he lived for thirty-three years, soaking up the English sunshine at every opportunity, growing vegetables and fruit in his Plympton home. He has a wife, Kim, and four children, David, Elizabeth, Nicholas and Benjamin - ask him about them! He has spent many years learning knotting, from the age of six onwards, and is now sharing some of that learned and acquired knowledge with all. His greatest thrill is to show young people how they can tie knots - he teaches knotting at the drop of a line or the merest note of a puzzle involving cords. He now edits the international magazine "Knotting Matters" for the International Guild of Knot Tyers, of which organization he has been a member since 1997. More is yet to come, so keep a weather eye open for the next installment in his career, his writing and his life. Lindsey Philpott is the president of the Pacific Americas Branch of the International Guild of Knot Tyers. He has provided forensic knot analyses in criminal cases and teaches rigging and rope work.
