the knot and Friction hitch page.

Hi all. have been on arbtalk for some time now and have noticed that there are alot of people wanting to know how to tie different knots. so i wondered if it was worth having a dedicated page for this. picture on how to tie them and helpful stuff. thought it might be a good idea.
