  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Hi All, I've been away for a while due to not feeling well but I feel confident enough to come back and maybe even join in discussions again. When things get difficult one of the things I like to do is tie knots, so I thought I would share a few pics of my progress over the last few months.

Happy Easter!

Eric these are beautiful, thank you for sharing them, you do lovely knot work. :) It's amazing what can be created out of simple pieces of string. They are beautiful in their simplicity and intricacy. I like them all, but my favourites are the blue keyring holder, the bracelet and prayer ropes.

Thank you and I hope your Easter was a joyous one. :)

Thank you Deborah! I find it very therapeutic to have something to do with my hands. The payer ropes are my favourites because the knots are complicated and keep my mind occupied. All of the above are made with 550 paracord but it results in the prayer ropes being very inflexible. I intend to buy a softer yarn for future projects, possibly wool.
