In the news
At an event remembering the 228 incident in Taiwan, a ceremony involving a symbolic (and physical) knot did not go as planned when the participants were unable to untie the knot.

Videos
JD, Tying It All Together, makes instructional knot videos, many of which are decorative. His latest youTube video is of a knot he calls the pagoda knot (see above). Having some carrick bend elements to it, it is an atypical mat knot with a very strong rectangular silhouette. It is certainly a knot that I don’t recall having seen before. Warning for the sensitive: JD is half of the Two Knotty Boys, bondage authors, and at the very end of the video is an advertisement for one of their bondage books. So, if you’re browsing with kids and don’t want to explain why the people are tied up, stop when the words start flying at the end.

Apparently knots are a thing in fashion these days.

Prada has incorporated knots into both purses and shoes:
