Speak of the devil.... I had begun to wonder, seemed like it been a little while since you had posted on here.
First I wanna say that I love the two color snake weave. I've been playing around with the celtic bar knot for an idea, but I think the two color snake weave knot is a much better solution. Thanks so much for sharing this knot with us.
I'm a little conflicted with dragonfly knot though. For once, JD's method of doing things is not my preferred method of doing things.
I like the method I've seen elsewhere, with the head being made of a chinese button knot, and the body being a series of 2-strand matthew walker knots, or snake knots. The conflict here being the novice actually preferring the ways of a different master from the one they normally follow
Having said that, I do still have to admit that I do like this new method of making dragonfly knots. I think it's a great use of the soloman bar, and the idea of tying a 'winged' soloman bar has so many applications, it's a wonder it hasn't been more seen before. I also like the solution the winged soloman bar gives for creating the wings.
Though I prefer other methods of doing dragonfly knots, I have always loathed that almost every method out there uses the lover's knot for creating the wings. Mainly cause mine never quite look satisfyingly right. The other thing I do like about JD's method is the loop at the bottom. One could easily slip a ring onto that part of the knot at the start of tying, and turn the knot into a key fob!
Thanks again JD for another set of wonderful videos! As always, you make it seem so easy.
