Knots

Scoutmaster Flowers

Here's another little thing I've been working on: Knots. 6-strand star knot surrounded by 12-strand star knot 2-over crowning. 12-strand Mathew Walker knot (these are tough). More 2-over crowning. Another Mathew Walker knot. Fringy ending. I call them Scoutmaster Flowers.

These are Chinese knots. I think they are very pretty. I made a jig to hold the knots during formation, and it's not that hard. I got the beads at the Intergalactic Bead Show in Cincinnati. What a name!
