Mary, Untier of Knots or Mary, Undoer of Knots

While I understand that it is meant metaphorically, that Mary is helping you with obstacles and troubles, my brain wants to take it literally.  Which makes Mary the ... what's the opposite of patron saint?  Patron devil?  Nemesis?  Beleaguerer? ... of knot tyers?

Anyone who is involved with knots knows that untying knots comes with the territory.

hahaaa, yas crack me up,

. what's the opposite of patron saint?  Patron devil?  Nemesis?  Beleaguerer? ... of knot tyers? 

yeh i know!, in my mind i object, 'no don't do that!',

then, there are a few knots lying around here that could be untied for the cord to be reused.
and maybe a more specific title 'disentangler of knots' would be most welcome ...
for when we've all had a go at the half-hitches-to-overhand-knots trick, told in the preface of Ashley's book 😊
(and illustrated in Geoffrey Budworth's the Knot book)
