I Must Remember to Remember

The notion of a knot used as a reminder may have originated from the custom of tying a knot in the handkerchief. In days gone by, gentlemen would tie a knot in their handkerchief to remind themselves there is something that should not be forgotten. Whenever they reached for their handkerchief, they would be reminded.

 

The theme for “Looking Close on Friday” for the 20th of May is “knots”. At first I was a bit hard pressed to think of an interesting knot, then I remembered this old notion. I hope you like my choice for the theme this week, and that it makes you smile.
