@y0urstuff: I’ve talked about rope in depth here in regards to what lengths to buy- but I’ll go a bit further to say, when we first started I thought the rigs had to be all one rope. You can see on some of our earlier sets we used pieces as long as 50 feet.That’s actually really difficult to work with because the first parts of the tie have so much extra rope laying around. (It definitely makes for a prettier end product because you don’t have to hide additions, though.)Lately I much prefer having a lot of shorter lengths -20 feet each- and when one rope ends, I just add another one:Make a lark’s head in the new rope, and then secure it to the button (knot at the tail ends) of the rope that’s ending. Do that as many times as you need :)@thedevouredsoul: Patience, for sure. The first few times you tie, especially more complex stuff, it’ll be long and probably not super sexy. And don’t be afraid to make mistakes. Obviously be cautious and have your safety shears nearby, but have fun with it too. Some stuff will look awkward or fall off, and that’s OK! Also, encourage the person being tied to talk a lot the first few times, even if it’s stuff like “that feels weird”, it’ll help guide the rope top and make sure everybody has a good time <3@buuterflysrfree, @chaptrr: thank you both so much!
