I have always wanted to learn how to make Celtic knots. They are so beautiful. I honestly figured they would be extremely hard to make and that it would take years of training to get them right. With this book, a sheet of graph paper, and a pack of markers I have learned the art. No mine are not totally perfect yet but I can say I have designed and made a few already. I have even used some plain craft ribbon to make some of my creations.
I have designed a small k I am so excited about this book. I have designed a small knot to make out of wire to make earrings and a matching necklace to give as gifts. This book is an instruction manual to making Celtic knots.

Jan 20, Debbie rated it really liked it Shelves: The author described how to make a basic knot, provided grids to practice making some traditional knots, and explained how to modify the basic knot to make your own knot patterns and unique flourishes. She described how to make a trefoil knot and knots in borders, corners, rings, and crosses.
She also showed how to make spirals, maze and step patterns, and add animals snakes, dragons, dogs, birds, etc. At the very end, she explained how to transfer the design created on the grid onto your project and provided suggestions on coloring it. The author broke the process down into easy steps and illustrated those steps. A couple times, I wouldn't have known what she intended from the text alone, but the illustrations were very easy to follow.
The book contained a square grid and a circle grid that you can make copies of, and she described how to make your own grids using grid paper. Overall, I'd recommend this book to those interested in learning how to make their own Celtic knot designs. I've never tried to make Celtic knots before, but the author makes it seem do-able and I've been happy with the basic knots that I've tried so far.

This is definitely not a book for beginners and I myself will need to find one a bit more in depth to begin with. Yet some one with even the most basics of learning will find it interesting and probably a lot easier to follow than I did. There are dome beautiful illustrations of the different design discussed and I hope to learn a little before trying again.
