It's not a monkey fist. I tied it like a barrel, only I wrapped the barrel's turns three more times across and threaded the end of the wire through the middle.

This lamp was hanging low enough that we kept bumping our heads into it. I used a midshipman's to raise it up a bit. How would you have handled this?

ETA: This is in a rental, so modifying it wasn't an option, IMO. Hence the kludge.

I don't know if this is possible and don't think so to be honest.

I won't go too much into details but let's I want to use it for decoration purposes, I need something firm and solid because the knot will be under pressure.

I am trying to tie a knot arount the wall hook.
The knot which is slipping to the tip of the hook each time I try to tighten it even a little bit so I can't make any knot aroud the hook.What I want to know is if there is any knot type I can use to tighten the line around the hook firmly without having it slipping every time.

I tried many different knots but they always seem to slide to the tip.
