Those sure are some pretty knots though.

What is the material, twine? It would have to be something easy to clean, maybe with a weatherproof coating on it, or would you put a finish on it after you're done?

Maybe you could knit a nice Cozy to go over the top of your boat too. I just wanted to climb on.

Also wouldn't that thing get filthy on a steering wheel?
