Trix - a collection of knots

There are many different types of knots with names such as Boa, Granny, Thief and Reef knots, and some rather beautiful ones, like various Chinese knots the type which often have a hanging tassel.

For my jewellery though, I am more attracted to the basic overhand knot or tight wrapping, which, was it made using an actual rope and not metal, it would of course unravel and I really like the fluent shapes you can achieve when casually tying a knot.

The name of the collection is Trix, as in rope 'tricks'.
