Double Coin Knot

FOR ABUNDANCE

The double coin is relatively simple in both construction and meaning: after a few linking loops, the overlapping coins are thought to manifest wealth and prosperity for the knot maker. But while tying this knot, we appreciate its underlying lesson. Though the coins may not immediately reveal themselves, through careful observation and consideration of the lines and space, their shapes are unveiled. To carry this guidance into daily life is to hold the gentle reminder that by merely shifting perspective we may find the abundance in our lives, hiding in plain sight all around us.

Celtic Square Knot

FOR PROTECTION

In Celtic belief, this knot is a symbol of the cosmos, a vast universe contained in a magical box. While the identities of other knots are formed around their structure and shape, the grace of this knot is found in its looseness, in its space. What happens in this in-between is what makes the knot who it is. A simple loosening or tightening can completely transform the personality and overall feeling of the knot, but its nature never changes. Also known as the “sailor’s breastplate” in maritime culture, the theme of protection remains the same. And we appreciate this overlap in meaning: a gentle security, a comforting architecture of protection surrounding a gooey, spacious in-between.

Cloud Knot

FOR LIGHTNESS
THROUGH SUN & STORM

Like its namesake, the cloud knot draws beauty from its complexity. Massive yet delicate, substantial yet supported, mysterious yet deceivingly uncomplicated...the balance of opposing forces is present. And the knot parallels these oppositions effortlessly: morphing shape from one phase to the next through the tightening and loosening of construction. In the end, you’re left with a knot that has discovered its form despite every push and pull, a lightness of being through sun and storm, a whole that is supported by the balanced tension of its parts.
