Butterfly Loop
The Alpine Butterfly Loop is an ideal knot to use for hanging laundry on a kite line or tying off to an anchor. It is a strong knot, keeping over 90% of the stregnth of the line. It is also very easy to untie even after being under considerable strain.

This next is way too much information, but if you are knotty like me, this Butterfly Bend is a terrific way to join two lines.
