I Want To Learn How To Tie Celtic Knots For Making Jewelry. Anyone Know How Or Where I Can Get Instructions?
I want to learn how to tie celtic knots for making jewelry. Anyone know how or where I can get instructions?
I make hemp jewelry, and would like to add celtic knots to my list of jewelry styles. I have searched all over the web, and can't find the instructions anywhere.
It is very hard to tie celtic knots in real string, as the knots have a lot of corners and open spaces that string will not keep.
You can tie the knots pinned down on a board and stiffen before you take it of, but that is not a guaranty that the knot stays in shape. And hemp is known to change colour dramatically when wet, and when treated with glue.
The only knottyer I know who ties celtic designs with success is using silver and gold, it is Loren Damewood, also known as Goldenknots, an example:

There is a book on the market which promises to use Celtic knots in jewelry, but they use basic Turks Head knots:

and other woven knots:

instead of beads.
Here is a link to a site where you can buy the book:
