Those are impressive. I don’t think my chubby arthritic fingers would be able to manage that kind of intricate knot work.

Gramps taught me how to try a hangman's knot at the age of eight.

This is a bit of my knotwork.
Rescue rope and Bell pull.

The 50 foot rescue rope has a monkeys fist, weighted with a wooden ball, so it will float, an eye splice a few feet back so it can be slipped over the shoulders and a manrope knot on the bitter end so it doesn't come out of your hand. And some stout seizing where needed.

I made these as gifts for a wedding g party, it's a shame none will probably ever be used
I too learned the hangmans noose at a young age. I was told its no good unless it has 13 loops.
My first try at the monkeys fist...
It could have been cleaner looking but i just gave it a first try. I read some put marbles and balls inside of them.

So someone point me in the right direction to find a site with a bunch of cool knots and possibly the bell pulls. This is feeling like something i need to do.
Oh no! Did i fall down another rabbit hole?
