We hope you will cherish Angel's dedication and share this good fortune with those around you~ Some often ask about the difference between "crocheting" and "knotting." The primary difference lies in their construction. "Crocheting" uses a hook to continuously loop and interlace yarn, creating layers to form a fabric, with a final knot securing the entire piece. "Knotting," on the other hand, involves creating a fabric by tying knots, one by one, with each knot firmly secured. Countless "knots" are gradually accumulated to build the entire piece, a process that is labor-intensive and time-consuming, often leading to fatigue or even injury in the small muscles of the fingers. Given this fundamental structural difference: With "crocheting," if the final knot loosens, the looped yarn can easily unravel and disintegrate... In "knotting," each knot is intentionally tightened, and typically multiple knots are involved. To loosen it requires undoing each knot individually; thus, the tying is time-consuming and strenuous, as is the undoing. During the "crocheting" process, there is greater flexibility and variation in yarn length and color combinations, allowing for continuous joining (with inconspicuous connection points), resulting in more diverse patterns and designs. "Knotting" relies on accumulated experience and meticulous record-keeping of yarn specifications and lengths from previous creations. To minimize visible connection points from insufficient yarn, it's often best to pre-cut yarn to the required specifications, lengths, and quantities before knotting. This is because the process essentially involves continuously looping and tying yarn. Of course, with the artisan's skill and creativity, "knotting" can also incorporate different color blocks to showcase beauty and style~ For larger creations requiring substantial amounts of yarn, imagine carrying bundles of yarn for each thread during the process. The final "finishing"... For "crocheting," it typically involves a simple knot to secure the yarn tails and prevent unraveling. However, for "knotting," it can often be a challenge. As the fabric is formed by knotting many parallel strands, numerous yarn tails remain at the end. These can be left to hang naturally, depending on the finished product or the artist's desired aesthetic. If a more refined finish is desired, it can test the artist's experience and skill in managing the ends.
