Lariats – tethering humans to handmade

The thrill of the Knitting Nancy is still in the building. Here is the fourth lariat in the Lariat with French Knots Knut by Nancy series.

I’ve used magenta mohair knots again because I love they way this colour jazzes up the butter yellow.

And did you know the word ‘lariat’ means a lasso or a tethering rope? It has Latin origins – to tie and to join.

So let’s still use it to tie, but how about we untie the animal and re-tie humans to handmade, and to kindness and consideration as the first position.
