There is something truly magical about the art of knotwork. The interlacing lines, the rhythmic flow of patterns, and the sense of connection between past and present make it a deeply satisfying practice.

That’s exactly what Nancy’s Knot Club is all about.

Naturally, the watercolour needs to dry completely before tangling begins.
