iPhone 4S - Tips and Tricks Monkey's Fist | How to tie the Monkey's Fist | Decorative Knots Uses: The Monkey's Fist (ABOK # 2200 - 3, p 354) is used both as a decorative knot and to weight the end of a heaving line (see caution below). Tying it: The Monkey's Fist is usually tied around separated fingers. For the demonstration, a U-shaped piece of metal strip was used instead and three turns of rope were used in each direction. After each set of complete turns, change direction by passing the end through the middle. For each direction count carefully: it is very easy to miscount and have more strands on one side than the other. Finishing it: The animation shows an overhand knot being inserted into the center. Alternative Monkey's Fist Finish Alternative Finish: Ashley describes a version shown here where both ends remain outside the fist and are spliced together so that the Fist becomes part of an eye splice.

DivineCaroline: Relationships, Body & Soul, Home, Style, Parenting, and Community for Women How to Break Up a Dog Fight Without Getting Hurt! Dog Fight Comment: January 10, 2014 I wanted to let you know how good your advice on breaking up dog fights works. I was home alone and my two intact males got into a fight. First I tried using a door to break them up but that didn't work, and I knew grabing the hind end of just one wouldn't help me, that's when I remembered your advice about using the leashes. I grabbed 2 leashes and hooked the first dog to the laundry room door and the second dog I dragged to where I could shut the door and get them apart and then hook him to a door. Beth Dog Fight Question: December 12, 2013 Ed, I recently tried to break up a dog fight between my 4 year old golden retriever and 5 year old yellow lab (both neutered males). Ed's Response: I am sorry for your loss. The short version is you take a dog leash and make a loop by running the snap through the handle. The go around and grab the back legs of the dog that is not attached to the leash. I am glad you didn’t get bit. Regards, Ed Frawley November 3, 2013
