ornamental ropework is known as marlinespike. A marlinspike is a type of needle that seaman carried to allow them to fashion decorative pieces using bits of line formed into highly decorative knots. It was a soothing diversion on long ocean voyages and resulted in presents for their loved ones on the sailors' return. A typical marlinespike was about three to five inches long.
