The Rosetta Knot Project

Knotting Academy is a site dedicated to teaching the endangered arts of knot tying.

The Rosetta Knot Project is a guide to learning decorative Asian knotting with a focus on the connections between Chinese knotting (中國結, 中国结, zhōngguójié), Korean knotting (전통매듭, maedeup), and Japanese knotting (花結び, hanamusubi). Other decorative knotting communities such as macramé, scoubidou, paracord, etc will be linked in as appropriate.
