Welcome to Knotshot! This video will give you a step-by-step guide to getting started on the grid, making your Knotshot Visualization (KV). scroll down for part 2 – Converting to string. Don’t worry, we keep it brief!
Knotshot may be the biggest thing to happen to macrame since string.
It’s the new app that lets you create and preview your macrame ideas in color.
The Knotshot canvas allows you to color where you can tie a knot and, at the end, turns into your guide to create your own fiber design.
Follow the simple guide below to work through the app. It won’t take long to pick your palette, change the colors of the knots in the grid, and create designs you can translate into string!
