Chinese/Asian knotting family tree
« on: January 03, 2024, 10:59:36 PM »
I was having a train of thought yesterday that completely derailed into the weeds and thought perhaps some guild-folk might have useful and constructive thoughts on the topic.

Trying to shrink the image into 100KB made it completely illegible, so here's a link out

https://drive.google.com/file/d/19O4Mf1OMhmtK3YjnhXY0vtLE09VSNrVC/view?usp=sharing

diagram key:
- squares are a concept
- diamonds are a process or filter
- circles are a type of knot
- triangles are one particular knot
- dotted circles are knots that are not traditionally part of the Asian decorative knot canon.

notes:
- flower hoop are THK
- flat knot is macrame (solomon bar)
- corn sennit == crown sennit
- the mat area is completely stupid and needs fixing.  8)

whoaaa, i think you have it covered,
i'll take your word for it!,
you certified knot nutter [a term of endearment],

it looks great
i wonder if it could be made radial,

that is a knot board with a difference,
i don't see any weeds,
just complete knot nuttery on your part,
it is a heck of a chart,
Ashley would drop his fid and fountain pen

i had fun getting sort of hypnotised into it

it's a beauty, as we would say in Australia
and, as i would say,  (((((gonggg)))))

I do have plans for feb 10th, but I have had similar plans for the last 5 years at least and each time dates have come and gone with no result.  This year I have an org-mode document with schedule dates and everything.  We'll see if it makes a difference.  8)
