I am pretty darn excited. I have worked on some basic celtic knots at different times on grid paper, I got the hand of the 2 strand basic style last night. Then today doodling and working with kids at an art center I was able to work it out to pretty consistent spacing and get the corners turned okay to complete a border around a page.

I want to look at more strands and some other ways to draw them,

Oh, I love Celtic knotwork! My mom is Irish and can speak Irish Gaelic, so there is quite a bit of Celtic art around our home and hers! :-)

What do you plan to do with your artwork? I've seen some pretty neat embroidery featuring knotwork. Might be cool to make a stamp, too. :-)

How fun! DD is studying the Dark Ages this year and as part of that she is learning about the Book of Kells. Such incredible art!
I have tried to draw Celtic knots but they are really tricky!!
