Fishermen, nautical enthusiasts and those who just enjoy being out on the water won't be able to pass this knot of jute rope up. Weighing 3 1/3 lbs., the Rope Knot Door Stopper can be used to prop open a door or as a bookend. Its natural fibers allow it to be suitable for outdoor use as well.

Too cute, this is so nautical. I love the idea of using it as a bookend too. I've been eyeing this in the Ballard Design Mag for months. Guess its time to check out.

my favorite type of accessory: a little off the beaten path. this highly decorative and surprisingly useful knot is such a thing. it weighs over three pounds, can be used indoors or out, and is made of natural fiber. somehow, it seems like this would become inevitably helpful. if nothing else, in looking so interesting.

This is a cute, clever doorstop that shouldn't be hard to get our cat to play with.
