Recently, when I asked for ideas of designs that I might post as future freebies, someone suggested Celtic knots. This really rang a bell with me, because a long time ago, in Another Life, I did a big series of Celtic knots, and I'd be only too happy to pass some of them on now.
I'm not doing worksheets for these, because there doesn't seem to be much need for them. Both designs are for the 4x4 (100mm x 100mm) hoop
Celtic knot 1
Celtic knot 2
Celtic knot 3
Now - WARNNG!! There are jump stitches in all of them, and numbers 1 and 3 have a HUGE number of jumps in the final colours. I've been puzzling for a long time over how to get rid of these, but I've reluctantly come to the conclusion that the only way to do away with jumps involves the sacrifice of stitchout quality. So I'm afraid there's not a lot I can do about them - just think of them as part of the Celtic style
Here is number 1, here is number 2, and here is number 3. All are in .pes v.6
Wow. I don't see how these can be drawn, let alone digitized! Just looking at the weavings makes me cross-eyed. Celtic and Pictish designs awaken my Scots-Irish blood, and I love them. Thank you for sharing your skills with us!

Other designers just tie off and move to the next position and start anew and they continue to do that until the design is done. Not a problem.

Good morning, I love your designs. I wanted to find out purchasing. I am especially interested in a design from 2012, Nov. 8, 2012, specifically. There are 3 wonderful goldfish swimming in some sea grasses. Is that design available for purchase?
I really hope so!

I like your flowing lines and flowers. I'm not much on black and white. :-)
