I found an interesting and easy to use way of making Celtic and other knots. It's an open source java program called Knotwork Editor and you can get it from http://mac.softpedia.com/get/Math-Scien ... itor.shtml. Here's how easy it is.

I thought Java apps were cross platform. There's no exe file but there is an MS-DOS Batch file so I suppose knot (oops...typo :oops: :hehe )

Thank you for the source.
A small selection (no selection - save as) ... and it would be very good ...

An undo function would be nice too.

Molly, this one sounds interesting as you can work it together with Inkscape.

I've been playing with it a little and it's a bit buggy but if the developer continues work on it, I reckon it could turn into something really good. There's nothing lazier than this method Lyle - just point and click!

It would be cool to be able to take points and then let the knots convolve with the points like using Voronoi stipple to do the traveling salesman plots. Don't like even creating the dots; now you know how lazy I am. lol

Close; there's a lady whose daughter and my brother were in the same graduating class. Since college, I've been helping her with various computer issues. She lives literally on the next block yet I drive to her house when she needs help. lol

The sad thing is I walk 3 to 5 miles 3 times a week (did a 3 mile walk earlier today since I couldn't walk yesterday); it's just when I go to other folks home that I drive my car. lol

Walking's great when it's for pure pleasure. When you have to be somewhere it's not so inspiring. Next block though??? :teeth

The only time I like to walk is when I am in a mall, then I can go for hours.

I usually walk 4.7 miles outside and twice a week (because I do a grocery run afterwards) I do a Mall walk for 2.5 miles; today I did a 3 mile walk at the Mall though. lol

I like climate control myself. ;)

If and when I do get the job that I finally got clearance for, I won't be doing too much walking anymore unfortunately. Still, the job's not been offered yet and the government is cutting back now, so, I might still only get the occasional contract job. Oh well; guess I need to think more positive. :)

Find a wood somewhere and take a regular weekend stroll - nice way to unwind. I'm lucky because I live right next to a wood.

Thanks PC, that's a much better link. I ought to know by now that Sourceforge is the place to go.

I'm looking at one called Knot maker. I found it through this forum: http://www.pcreview.co.uk/forums/knot-m ... 94448.html I can't find a home page but one of the links on the forum is a direct download link for it. It's designed for making fonts but I was thinking I could screengrab my knotwork, enlarge it in gimp and use it as a guide for the paths tool.
