Thanks to those who responded directly or on the reflector. Favorites appear to include a bowline and half of a bow knot (like tying shoes). One person referred me to Google, and while an awful lot that is on the internet about knots is theoretical or decorative, there was a link to the Army Field Manual on Rigging. See http://www.adtdl.army.mil/cgi-bin/atdl.dll/fm/5-125/ch2.pdf for a whole library of rigging knots.
