11/19/2004 Entry: "Better Shoelace Knots"

I've been tying so many shoes lately! Not only do I tie my grandson's shoes multiple times a day (he takes them off when he's bored or angry, I suppose because it's something he can do) but my shoes wilfully untie themselves because the laces are too slippery. So I was glad to find this site about shoelace knots. You don't need to use the knot you learned as a child; there are others that are easier and more secure. (Via a comment by Leland Johnson on Ted Leung's Daddycon II Day 3.)

Also on Ian's shoelace site: Repair busted aglets (the lace ends) instead of tossing the laces. (I thought it was aiglet and it seems either is correct.)
