My First Design: Bruges Celtic Knot

For awhile now I've had this idea that Bruges lace would be the perfect way to make Celtic knots. Only my ambition to test my theory was not highly motivated. Then Sammimag at Crochetville posted about Bruges lace and my motivational level jumped as I had forgotten just how fun making the lace can be.

I started with a simply Celtic-esque knotwork and saw that it is just a group of loops woven together. I thought it wouldn't prove too difficult to make. But there are some knotworks I would like to translate into Bruges lace that will require a lot of head scratching and figuring since they are one continuous line that twists and turns. If my patience doesn't run out, I shall be tackling some more intricate knots soon!

How clever of you! I enjoy the simple elegance of Bruges crochet. However, I haven't attempted it in thread yet. Maybe I will now :)
