I came across a rather bizarre website that is clearly a labour of love……
You know how some people get really obsessive about things like How Many Ways to Tie a Tie?
Well, this site just Has to be one of the most anally retentive ever: Ian’s Shoelace Site
The thing is, once you start reading it, and the more you get into it, it becomes curiously addictive.
Just go to it explore and indulge (for starters) in the 33 different ways to tie a shoelace. Revel in the Sawtooth, the Bow Tie (illustrated above), the Twisty, the Double Helix or the Hexagram.

Oh, and I’d better warn you, the list is growing regularly. Bravo Ian - whoever you are, wherever you are - your site has educated and informed and made me smile and be baffled in equal measures.
