Wasn't sure where to post this, figured here would work so here it is:
Pretty awesome website that shows how to tie knots and their uses, also broken down by activity such as climbing, boating, etc. Also gives uses and explains purposes of each knot. Pretty useful for the young guns and wizened geezers among us I figure.
 
I have an app called knots 3D. Does pretty good

They also have an App for the iPhone (not sure about Android), use it all the time.

Thanks to you I learned some new knots today and leveled up as a human.
 
App for Android looks like this....

It definitely helped out when I went through FFI.

Sure beat yelling out "rabbit comes up through the hole around the tree and back down through the hole" all while swearing that you'd end up killing that rabbit whenever you found him, because you know whatever knot came out (if one even did) would not be a bowline.

Haha. "If you don't know how to tie the RIGHT knots, then tie lots of them."

Animated knots is a really great resource!

Not an animated knot per se, but something I found useful is having a non-electronic cheat sheet with me for when I brain fart. CI bought some crag cards (essential climbing knots) off Amazon awhile ago.
