celtic knot tutorial part 2

In this video, we will explore "breaks" in knotwork construction.

This design starts like the last knotwork design, with a 4 x 4 grid and a diamond pattern with the circles. This modified design, however, will need to work around a break in the center of the grid. A break is a line that cannot be crossed by a thread, forcing the thread into a different direction than it would normally go. The break for this video is an X in the center of the grid, which will allow us to create a Celtic design called Four Linked Hearts. It's a beautiful design signifying love and is perfect for weddings or Valentine's Day. 

So, I hope you enjoy this video, and feel free to leave a comment, like, or share this video!

(A special thanks to my son, Christian Lilly, for helping me with the video editing! Music from iMovie.)
