In my continuing curiosity about the rope knots (see http://www.proknot.com/html/rope_knots.html), I found another one that looked really interesting called a "clove hitch." Cloves are delicious on ham at Christmas. They look like a seed cluster with a little stem. A knot named after a clove looks nothing like the cloves I use. But the clove hitch does "hold firmly but is not totally secure." My cloves don't always hang onto my hams firmly. May be because my hams aren't firm to start with. (Hmmmm)I tried it. I grabbed the cord to my window blinds and tied up my pencil. It was definitely secure as far as I could tell because I almost couldn't get the knot untangled. I named my knot a "don't knot."
