Description
a couple of days ago (maybe yesterday?), a fellow celtic knot enthusiast had a tutorial get selected as a Daily Deviation, and it made me itchy to do a tutorial of my own. i'm not sure if this one is going to be understandable, much less helpful, but i've at least gotten it done. i hope you like it!Celtic knot tutorial by Dweran: [link]

I dunno what i will use this for/in/on, but use it i will. I just want it to be part of something else, instead of just the knotwork

I love celtic knotwork, and I think I started playing around with it about a year ago, but until now I never managed to get beyond doing the same simple border ever again...
So, thanks for posting this!

Having done a celtic knot tutorial also I find they interest me, just seeing hwo others go about their knotting! I think this is probably one of the most unique set-up's I have seen, and they do result in very beautifull and unique knots.
The fact that you do not start int the middle might make some traditional celtic knotters uncomfortable 
For the tutorial I think you could do with a couple of in between steps. Some people might want to know as to how you come up with the shapes you draw on the inside of your circle,maybe a few more steps of adding those in between.
Nice tutorial though, clear and organised! well done and fun to read!

thanks so much for the critique, it's helpful! i see what you mean about the extra steps, though i do know i'd have a hard time explaining how the shapes come together. they're honestly pretty arbitrary - i sort of just put lines wherever there's enough space and make them angular or curved depending on what kind of aesthetic i'm trying for.
thanks again!

no worries!
When I worte mine I just tried to assume whomever read it had absolutely no clue, so every step of the way needs to be told if they want to skip one it is up to them. For your shapes you can always give some suggestions...

This is soooo cool! Thanks a lot, I've always wondered how people made those (:
