While diving into decorative knots, I learned about their rich history in maritime traditions. Many knots were originally designed with ornamental purposes in mind. During my travels to Japan, I also learned about Mizuhiki—a tradition of decorating New Year’s gifts with delicate, decorative knots. This newfound inspiration gave my initial idea even more meaning, tying together craft and festive traditions.
