I was reviewing my previous post and noticing how rounded the 6 pointed stellar knot looked when I remembered it being way more angular. Looking at the actual knot revealed that there is a mild sidedness to the stellar knot.

One side appears more rounded than the other. I tried tightening the knot more firmly, but the curve is still there.

To show you what I’m yammering about, this is the other side. The difference is so dramatic (distinct?) that for a second I thought that I had made a construction error, but over 1, under 2, over 2, under 1. The same on both sides, it’s right.

Did double and triple checking still miss a construction error? Possible…

A review of my 5 pointed stellar knots shows the same tendency to curve. What causes that? Something to ponder and analyze more in depth later…
