Knotty Business

Just started a basic dingy sailing course, and part of the course is to learn your knots. So thought I'd try drawing them to see if it could help me remember them, along with the little description to help you do it. Like the 'make a head, strangle it, and poke it in the eye' knot.

Larry the Lamb

Thought I'd draw Larry the Lamb before he lost his scruffy coat. He's definitely not a pampered poodle, especially when he gets his 'teddy bear' cut. The big dogs don't recognise him when he gets back from his outing to the hairdresser. Hackles go up, bits get sniffed, and its only when he starts doing his usual rushing around and nipping dog heels that they realise who he is and the excitement is over and he's let back into the fold. Not that they have much choice. We all know who is really in charge....
