Nodeology

So I found a new word:

Nodeology  -  the science of bindings.

Which begs the question:  since I usual weave using only bound weaving techniques, am I in fact more of a nodeologist than weaver?  It all fits with "fiber artist", so I'm safe under that umbrella description, but it is food for thought, since lashings are bindings (which are "knots"), and my pieces are technically lashed together.

For any budding nodeologists, here are several websites which provide a lot of information about knots:
