==Description==
A '''knot''' is a [[method]] of fastening or securing [[linear]] material such as rope by tying or [[interweaving]]. It may consist of a length of one or several segments of rope, string, webbing, twine, strap, or even chain interwoven such that the line can bind to itself or to some other object—the "load". Knots have been the subject of interest for their [[ancient]] [[origins]], their common uses, and the area of [[mathematics]] known as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knot_theory knot theory].[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knot]
