  • Knotting, the joining of two cords, is an old and revered art form in China and an integral part of Chinese life. Since ancient times, Chinese knots have been used for a variety of practical and decorative purposes: to record events, aid in fishing and hunting, wrap and tie items, embellish personal attire, jewelry and fashion, ornament other works of art, and communicate. The intricate knot work and magnificent color combinations not only lent elegance to everyday objects, or a touch of gaiety and enchantment but were an aesthetic expression of Chinese folk symbolism, expressing wishes for good fortune and wealth or the joys of love and marriage. In craft book Chinese Knotting, author Lydia Chen first traces the origins, history, and symbolism of this fascinating craft, before taking the reader through the fundamental elements necessary for tying Chinese decorative knots—the materials, implements, and main processes.Step-by-step instructions are then given for the 11 basic knots, which provide the building blocks for the 14 compound knots-combinations and variations of the simple knots-that follow in the next section. The final section presents 41 knotting projects of varying difficulty. Detailed instructions, clear diagrams, and color photographs, combined with an exciting assortment of creative applications, will help readers discover the relaxation, artistic satisfaction, and beautifully personalized ornamentation that Chinese Knotting can offer.

Fashion Design Editorial Review

**** The book on Chinese knotting stands out as an invaluable resource for both beginners and advanced practitioners of this rich craft. With its sturdy hardcover format, it features an abundance of glossy photographs and clear, hand-drawn instructions that guide readers through the process of creating intricate knots. Customers have expressed their satisfaction with the book's thorough yet accessible approach, starting from the very basics and progressively introducing more complex designs. Readers have particularly appreciated the inclusion of historical context, shedding light on the significance of decorative knotting in Chinese culture and its revival over the years. The book does an excellent job of demystifying traditional practices, making it approachable for those unfamiliar with the subject. Many reviewers noted that the specific techniques offered—like using pins to make intricate tying easier—set this book apart from others in the market, which often rely solely on hand techniques and can lead to confusion. While the primary focus of the book is on teaching how to create knots, it seems to fall short of providing extensive inspiration for practical applications or modern projects. Some users pointed out it lacks examples of how to incorporate these beautiful knots into larger designs or everyday items. When it comes to learning the art of Chinese knotting, however, this book has earned Consistent praise, with many stating it's all-encompassing enough to eliminate the need for additional resources on the subject. In conclusion, this book is highly recommended for anyone looking to dive into the world of Chinese knotting, from novices eager to learn a new craft to seasoned knotters looking to expand their skill set. **
