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.
This is a Chinese Butterfly know. I think it's very pretty. I made a jig to hold the knot during formation, and it's not that hard. I got the beads at the Intergalactic Bead Show. What a name!

And here's my Knotboard. Every good knot-guy has to make a Knotboard, to show off his skills.
Using the 6x6 Butterfly as a basis, here's some pretty Butterfly Pins.
