At 17:30 you say “unfortunately it’s me who’s going to be singing it”. Unfortunate my bleep! You have the most gorgeous voice as well as a delightful sense of humor and style. I’m so glad I ran across you this morning. Liking and subscribing here and in your music channel.
Your first video was so compelling that I had to watch the second. I was rewarded with the sound effects of a knotting Shuttle falling to the ground. It was amazing. Edit: I’m going to keep watching your videos in the hopes that you show us what you do with these knotted strings. I hope to see some really cool stuff.
A really simple explanation on the difference between tatting and knotting: Tatting puts knots onto a line of thread(which may or maynot be the same line the knots are attached to). Knotting however puts knots into a line of thread.
What a lovely singing voice you have. I'm knitting a pineapple teapot cosy while watching you. Don't think I'll take up knotting but thanks for the entertaining info.🦘
OMG!!!! "There's only so many ways you can tie knots in a string!" Seriously? I might add here, as a fully paid up member of 'The International Guild of Knot Tyers' I hold you personally responsible for the lost hour of my time spent mopping the milky coco residues off my lap top, ejected mid sip as you uttered THOSE words. Referring to my hallowed tome of, ' The Ashley Book Of Knots' by Clifford. W. Ashley, or 'ABOK' to those in the know, I see there are no less than 3854 ways of knotting a cord, and growing, that doesn't include the Chinese decorative knots of which the Chang Pang, the knot you showed us, is only one. Might I recommend the book, 'Chinese Knotting' by Lydia Chen, I honestly reckon you'd love it, far more complex contrivances than the overhand knot performed whilst knotting, Knotting, per Purcell, so to speak, or the half hitches right and left beloved of those, - - - - -those tatter types, LOL. A fun fact. The high end sailing ships, both merchantmen and men o war, of the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries are considered to be the most complex mechanisms of their time and the only reason they worked was because of knots in cordage. From the weave knots in the linen sails to the stopper knots, manrope knots, and buntline hitches et al, of the running rigging, not to mention the splices, jib knots and carricks for foot mats and bump mats, all used quite literally in deadly earnest and most used to decorate, adorn and relieve boredom in equal measure. So young woman, scoff at the knot at your own peril, they are the stuff of empires and brave souls, not to mention bored ones, who have forged the world we know. I put to you, where would we be without the the humble cardie, or Arran tank top and their knit 1 pearl 1 knots born of boredom and necessity, I mean, there are only so many furry critters you can skin for that luscious cami top, so comfortable to wear both outdoors and around the cave. Take it easy luv, I subscribed BTW, I love your content, not to mention the delivery, best regards, Matt W.
@@matthewwigley1613 I prostrate myself at your feet for the slander I have committed towards knots and apologise for your laptop - I should clarify: there's only so many ways to tie that specific type of knot in a string. I wouldn't dare claim knowledge of all the different knots (which I, admittedly, know very little of). You truly sound like an absolute hoot and I wholeheartedly appreciate you weighing in, you've made my day and I feel thoroughly admonished ❤️
@@SongSpinnerUK Your more than welcome, but it is I who should thankyou for the time and effort you put into posting, it isn't something I could do and I have learnt so much from you that I wouldn't have known about otherwise. Seriously though, if you get a chance to look at the Chinese knotting book take it, there are some amazing contrivances in there which can be used as buttons or just adornments, plus it's just plain interesting. I enjoyed your singing by the way. Purcell is one of my favourites and your voice matches that genre just right. Take it easy luv, best regards, Matt.
U might be interested in a craft called nalbinding. It is the precursor to knitting and is basically knotting. It is what socks were orig made from and fishing nets and many useful items, incl modern day camel muzzles in the middle east. It goes back at least 10thousand yrs that we know of but prob way way way farther back. Almost every culture has a history of this in some form. It is really cool. Instead of using 2 needles to knit or a hook to crochet, u use a flat needle and short length of yarn (I prefer about 2-3 metres at a time) that u splice together, and u use ur thumb or the needle to basically loop specific type knots to create a very thick and durable fabric.
Ahhhh you're freya catherine?! I was definitely here for nerdy textile ramblings and delightful enthusiatic tangents and then you just offhandedly reveal you're the singer of my fav covers of Fear Not This Night and We All LIft Together?! Legendary! Much love
Love the ethics. Make the niche hobby tools for yourself and try it out. See if it's something you enjoy. If you really enjoy it - then you can consider the stuff I sell. Heck yes! Don't leave people searching for something you can offer, but seriously, most of us are going to get a day or two novelty out of it, if that, and never pick it up again. And we can have it today! I tend to suggest people pick up craft materials at a secondhand shop (if they have a charitable option with 2nd hand prices) or post online that you're interested in trying out a craft - because someone else has abandoned it, or gotten so into it they've outgrown some of their starter materials. Not going to work for such an obscure craft.
Brill, thanks. You are a great teacher 😊 with a lovely singing voice 👍. I would welcome further musings of a weird textile technique if you feel drawn to do more. Loved this one!
Fantastic video. In response to your what should you look into next? Given your specialist areas of music and crafts my mind logically went - French Skipping!!! How did that evolve?? ... did they use string before elastic and how would that even work??
I really enjoyed these videos on knitting. I'd member heard of it. You have a lovely voice. How about letterboxing? It's rumored to have started in England in the 1600s, but I haven't been able to verify that.
@@NathanRyan-v6s it's part of a joke made in Part 1 - basically very little of the song is legible as a previous owner (prior to scanning into the IMSLP database) crossed all the words out and I joked that it must have been too risque for them. The beeping is a joke that I've had to bleep out the parts that are too naughty 😅

You are so witty and funny, that I’ll bet that you’re their favorite teacher. Time for me to learn! 😊

No knot November 😂

@@rixmakoth5451 Damn, spotted in the wild! I'll never get used to that 😅
This is so informative and rad, well done! Thank you for sharing.
10:53 Bravo! Excellent pronunciation! I'm very proud of you for practicing 😊
Thank you for a great video, too!
@@liquidblackout yay! Tonal languages are fascinating but very scary to try to pronounce!
I love this soooo much. Thanks for putting this together. ❤
Oh! I'm so excited. Let me get a snack and get all settled in! :D

Thanks for a knew craft obssession 😅 Now I have to figure out how to make those XVII century italian knotted tassels 💕

Great as always
@@Drogenelfe You probably don't want to know, I wouldn't advise looking it up. It's a good deal more risque than the smut in this video!
I enjoyed your song. Why did you add the high-pitched beeps?

Hahahah
My most pressing question for you: when you are knotting without filming, do you say "plop" every time? I certainly would!
@@adventuresinwhimsy I say it in my head, but my husband is slowly learning knotting and he says plop out loud still 😅
