This last week I saw a card that had a pretzel knot on it. I went to youtube and learned how to tie a pretzel knot. It took me several hours and lots of attempts to get it down, but I think it was worth it when I put it on my card for today. I have several extra knots that I would like to share. I am going to randomly pick 4 of the comments that I receive on today's post to win those extra knots. I will post the winners on my post for day 4 of the MFP blog hop.
 Close up view of the pretzel knot
 Another card that I made as a sneak peek. I just tied regular knots on the twine on this card.

This song just seems to go with this card. Such a happy feeling to it.

I am going to enter this card in the Word Art Wednesday challenge.

    Wow! Beautiful work on your cards and the knot is fabulous. That will be a great win for someone for using on masculine cards. Your skies are so pretty.

    Like the nautical feel. The knots are wonderful texture. I'm a Jimmy Buffet fan. Grew up E coast of FL and went to many concerts when Jimmy Buffet was the warm up for the main concert performance and then saw him when he got even more popular. Thanks for giveaway chance.

    Marilynn, you did an amazing job on this card. i love your rope, and the images just stamped so clearly. I'm looking forward to working with my new stamps, and will be hosting a challenge on SpeedyTV which I'm really excited about. I'm SO GLAD you shared this gorgeous card with us in this week's challenge at Word Art Wednesday. Your continued participation is a huge blessing to us, and I am grateful to you for it!

    Marilynn,
    What an awesome knot. I have trouble with a plain old everyday knot! And, it looks very cool on your pretty cards!
