Some knots I tied for an Instagram challenge.
Tarred Hemp. Very stiff material, and smells like, well, tar.
Another Bottle ā¦
My daughter, a Guide leader, asked me to pinch hit for a meeting where the guest had to cancel. I said, of course, but then had to scramble to produce a class in a day. I made it more difficult for myself in that I didnāt want to do macrame or scoubidou, so no macrame dragonflies or lanyard bracelets. They were āhiringā a Chinese knotter, gosh darn it! ;D
I decided on a phoenix tail bracelet (with Chinese button knot finish if we need the extra material to make time), along with some larkās head flowers that I had clipped from zhongguojie.org years ago. I already had the instruction sheets for phoenix tail and button knot, but not the LHF or the horizontal double connection knot for finishing the flower (since we didnāt want to be telling 9 year olds to play with fire to finish the knots). I provided satin cord for the bracelets (rainbow, of course) and paracord for the flowers since in the testing of the project I found the satin cord a bit slippery for manipulating the larkās heads but paracord added just that extra grip to make the project less fiddly.
Attached are images of the LHF test sample (both sides, since theyāre asymmetrical) as guilders might be unfamiliar. I assume yāall know what phoenix tail looks like. 
More knots for instagram challenges:
This is Skip Pennockās Yin Yang symbol with Master Huboās hemispherical knots added to provide dots
Also a version frankensteined together from Struktorās fractal knots, ABoK 2271-5, and ABoK 2323-modified.
ABoK 2321, 2322, 2322-process, 2323
ABoK 2323-expanded
Struktorās fractal 6B5L, 10B7L-process, 10B7L. These have not been refined because they didnāt need to be to serve as parts for my frankensteined yin yang knot.
I actually tried to tighten the fractal into the comma shape without the other frankenstein parts, but there wasnāt enough āmaterialā in the middle to support the stretching, although there was certainly enough edging. I have some nascent thoughts about knot infilling to help with stretching similar to IGKT Chart 22ās square matā¦?
Thanks for the cool knots, Struktor! BTW, is there something wrong with narval.republika.pl?
ABoKās hitched mat series, starting with 2269, 2270, 2271-3, 2271-4
Thank You KnotMe.
The republika.onet.pl website was closed in 2018.
My website has stopped working.
I have the following programs Rozeta.exe, RozetaMo.exe, RozetaM.exe.
I use the Rozeta.exe program constantly.
If IGKT wants to, I will share it.
Sadness. (and hubby wonders why I print everything.
If you saved your files before the site stopped working, Iām sure any number of us (or the guild itself) would be happy to host the pages.

Google Analytics was showing no traffic on my site.
I decided that it is not worth continuing.
Although there were new topics.

I have files uploaded to an FTP server.

Itās risky for me.
You can give an unfair comment.
Then you donāt see my answers.
Unfortunately, I had such a case.

Thanks for the suggestions.
I will think about it and let you know.
My sites have very little traffic, and yet I see the effects of people using the contentsā¦

Anytime you put your work into a public space, there is that risk. Plus the internet attracts people who feel that they can say negative and disparaging things without consequence.
The responses to my blog posts on my own sites are mostly echo-y silence and spam. :
Thanks for the suggestions. I will think about it and let you know.I hope that around here you have mostly experience positive or constructive responses...
So, I tied a 5L6B THK in a strip of NeoPixel LEDsā¦ because I could. Hereās a partial explanation on Instagram for how that came to be. Hereās my Instructables for the project, although itās mostly from the technical perspective, for the knotwork instruction I link out. Hereās a link to a video of the LEDs doing their thing.
This 16 inch diameter wheel needed to have a better grip added. I used 550 paracord to tie 4 bight x 49 lead turks heads.
Nice work, looks comfortable.

With the scrap from the wheel, i tied a little bell rope. Around the thimble is 4 strand braid, which continued with 2 plies until I ran out of line, and I tied a wall and crown. The joining below the thimble is covered with a 3 lead x 4 bight turks head, and the wall and crown is covered with a pear shaped turks head. The pear shaped turks head started out as a 5 lead x 6 bight turks head, I closed the ends into a globe knot and added a complete turn at one end to add 4 leads to the 3 bights.

Asymmetrical mat.
Diagram cylindrical.
Another piece of scrap that got turned into something useful. A 9 lead x 4 bight key fob.
A cute sailboat showed up in the yard and needed some work done on the tiller. Iām sorry I didnāt have my IGKT reference card, the tiller is about 5ā (1.5m) long. The knot is a 6 bight x 79 lead turks head tied with white 550 Paracord. The tiller is tapered, so there is a #14 screw on a lock washer at either end that the knot is anchored to.
