You've found that great armoire and it's on the back of your pickup truck; the only thing left is to secure your load. If your skill with a rope stops at the granny knot, you need to check out this site. Excellent animations and written instructions take you through all the knots you need, sorted into convenient categories including household, boating, climbing and decorative. There is a great section on rope care which shows you how to avoid those useless frayed ends on your rope. With a little practice you will be able to amaze passers-by at IKEA by executing a trucker's hitch using a rope with perfectly whipped and burned ends. So go and get knotted! (ME)
