Introduction
In our busy world, we tend to look for ways to have some kind of a hobby to release some of the stress that we are experiencing. Some of us tend to overlook this very important part because we are busy chasing our dreams and aspirations we forgot to do something to release the stress that we have accumulated from the stressful things that we are doing particularly in our respective work.
There are variety of reasons why people tend to skip hobbies such as financial, the avoidance to learn something new, and many more. When it comes to personal experience I am also like that before, I do not have any hobbies because I am lazy to learn something new. Thankfully, a friend introduced me to this hobby which is called knot tying and I never thought that I will get hooked to this kind of hobby because at first, I thought that it was really boring as you are just only sitting tying ropes.
But I was wrong because this hobby is really enjoyable as you can create different patterns of knots that will make you feel satisfied and your experience memorable. Since I learned knot tying all my stress have been reduced especially when I am doing this knot tying after work.
I learned the different techniques to improve my skills in knot tying and diligently done it every day after work which is the primary reason why I mastered it. I am much honored to share my knot tying knowledge to you through this book. This book will be composed of knot tying projects that are very friendly for beginners and you will surely enjoy doing them.
Once you mastered the projects that we will tackle you can level it up by adding some variations on it according to your own preference.

Just like me before when I am just starting out there are certain tying positions and methods that I did not got until I practiced it for several times and eventually mastered it.
I suggest that you do not go all the way when doing a certain project, to master the techniques what you need to do is to make it sure that you will get familiarize to a certain step first before you move on to the next step. I tell you it will be tough if you are always doing it all the way because the next time you encounter a different project that has the same steps you will have a hard time doing it.
However, if you will master every step to your heart, the next time you will encounter that kind of tying you will surely not have a hard time thus you can do it effortlessly. An advice that I can give you is you must take an interest in doing this and put the knowledge inside your heart so that you will understand the modules very well.

Chapter 2 Knot Tying Projects For Sewing
Sewing is also common these days, but people tend to sew automatically nowadays because, for some, manual sewing can take a lot of time and effort. But enough of the automated ones, today well tackle about the different knot tying used for sewing, from common ones to the ones you probably didnt hear about.
Starting with the first project. The standard knot in sewing, it is the common way on how to hold the sewing thread into the needle. Some may find it hard doing this especially on the part of inserting the sewing thread into the needles eye but in reality, the steps are pretty easy. Here they are:
Step 1: Hold the sewing thread with your two fingers, it depends on what hand youll be using, if youre right or left handed, it is not a big deal. These steps will still apply perfectly.
Step 2: Bring the sewing thread closer to your two fingers, as having a very long allowance of the thread will make it hard for you to insert it inside the needle. After insert it inside the needle, you might want to wiggle it around so that it will fit perfectly on the hole.
