About Us

We are The Hoffman Research Group, a family business in the foothills of the Unicoi Mountains in East Tennessee. Many of our ideas for Why Not Knot for Fun? came from the play activities of our children. The children were using the twine from hay bales to build toys, forts, and platforms. We joined in with rope and knots, and had such a good time that we decided to teach others about the adventures you can have with ropes and knots!

Living on a small family farm, we use rope frequently for securing loads, leading calves, and hoisting beams, as well as many other practical applications. We began our life in the country with only a sketchy idea of how to get things done. Over the years we still don't know much, but have managed to keep the lights on and our stomachs full while enjoying life and the wonders of God's creation. You might consider visiting our blog at:
