Monkey's fist

The earbuds cord which came with my Treo is very long and it gets snagged on things when I am wearing it. Thus I decided to make a Monkey's fist in the middle of it to reduce it's length. Initially I used a wooden bead as the center of the knot but it was too light. So I ended up using a ball bearing to give it some weight. Many moons later when I discovered the wonderful website instructables.com I found an instructable to do just that.
