I believe knot-tying would be a great, life-long skill to have, especially being able to know which knots work best for different situations, like when the rope is thick and not very flexible or bendable.

I have lots of nylon rope and fishing line of various diameters, but don't know where to begin and/or the best way to get started. My goal is to make this a long-term hobby and spend 1-2 hours per week improving my knot-tying knowledge, skill, and speed.

There's a small board game, I think it's just called Knot Game, you get flashcards, two bits of string, and a timer. The flashcards help you learn a ton of knots and the timer allows you to challenge yourself.
