Made this glossary first for my own use as I increasingly ventured deeper into the world of braided knots. It is amazing just how many mathematical variations and codes there are to knots - I have’nt covered these as I don’t really understand them yet, at the moment I’m like a driver of a car who after years of driving is only just finding out how it works.

http://blog.mtn-m.co.uk/__oneclick_uploads/2009/05/glossary-of-knots-and-tapering-lace.pdf

I have also included a short piece about tapering lace which complete’s other PDF’s I have done on the subject of lace, plus diagrams for two knots used to help explain some items of the glossary.
Hope they help someone.

These .pdf files may not be be compatible with earlier versions of Acrobat reader.

If you are using Windows? Then download a copy of the free utility Sumatra PDF from here. It will open these files properly (I just checked).

And Sumatra PDF is also available in Hungarian.
