Add a tad of rope decor with this handsome sailors knot (click image)..., in the sailing world, especially in the past, knots played a huge part, and the fact that so many of them are highly decorative makes them perfect for the home. This particular sailors knot also known as the monkey's fist can be put to good use as a bookend or door stopper...
... can you spot the monkey's fist in this poster? On a ship this knot is used to give the end of a rope some weight so that it can be easily thrown to someone on land or another boat. I'll be on the lookout for more rope decor. Show me the Ropes
