You need to find things to keep you busy? ? ?
Those sure are some pretty knots though.

I believe the one on Flips boat is the linear cockscombing...That's Capt Bryan's boat, I got my fly rod from him...What a thought...maybe I should ask him

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?

You can use just about anything....nylon or cotton is normally used on boats...I found a site yesterday where I guy was making rings, bracelets and such out of gold and silver

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

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