Yes, the feel of infinity comes way sooner than reaching
into the hundreds, or thousands!
There is some hope in seeking the how&why, the workings
of knots which finds manifestation in the multitudes.

As a rookie, it is too difficult to decide on the best knot for a specific use or purpose. Not only that but lets say there are a dozen ( pic a number) specific purposes then we could focus on learning only the best ones that are used or needed the most. I see many handbooks or cheat sheets that provide the most used dozen knots etc… like the Boy Scouts but there appears to be many new knots that have come along that are superior.
I cant keep up. I spent most of my life getting along with many round turns and lots of sequential half hitches. Recently I found a really cool way to tie
a double dragon loop so that has replaced my bowline knot as far as a loop at the end of the rope goes. I’d like to see on this website… maybe a dozen purposes and let everyone vote as to which knot is the best for each purpose .
so I can overlook all the rest and maybe make my own little cheatsheet booklet..
