As predicted in the Screencast I made in the original post, YouTube has been the best teacher for learning how to tie a bow tie. I clicked through a few message boards, but none seemed all that helpful with my bow tie learning process. I also pointed out in the Screencast that I refer to verified accounts first, so I watched two videos from Howcast and one from the Gentleman's Gazette. All three talked more about fashion associated with the bow tie and then dove right into the process. I became very frustrated early on with the process because I did not have the bow tie set up correctly. There are numbers and a small clip in the middle of the tie by the tag. I had no clue what these were for, so I continued without the bow tie being set up properly. What were these numbers for? Why did my bow tie not appear correct? The questions and frustrations continued. I switched over to a non-verified account by the user WhoSeeThis and found the answer!
Another challenge I was met with was transferring the knowledge from the videos to actually trying out the tying process. Usually when I tie a necktie, I am looking in a mirror. Watching a video on a computer and trying to mimic the moves without a mirror was nearly impossible. In order to remedy this challenge, I frequently paused videos, especially one from Pursuityourself, and used Photo Booth as my mirror. I would also have it side-by-side with the videos, so I could double check my progress with the videos. I am going back to the verified accounts and working on tying the bow tie better with more fluid moves. Here is a video of me working on perfecting the first knot. Based on the requirements for this project, I can only use forums and YouTube videos for this project. Any other YouTube videos I should check out? Thanks! References
