[photo of selection of knots bend (Naut.) 1. v. to fasten. 2.n. a knot used to fasten two lines together

A Carrick Bend is used to bend together two hawsers (very large ropes). The knot's smooth curves put as low a strain as possible on the line.
I made this brooch in sterling silver for my wife as a Valentine's present.
