For this lesson, we got to create our own Cobra Knot keychains. We were told about the important role that different knots have played in the past and our everyday life to this day. Rather than just hopping right in with the craft lace, we practiced how to make the knot using yarn. Once we had that under control, we chose on of the two color triads (primary or secondary) and tied our knoting using craft lace. It's not seen much in the picture, but the red craft lace was the middle color that the other two were knotted around.
I think that it would be cool to have the students research different types of knots that may have been used in different time periods. The students could then teach their peers how to tie them. They could also compare knots that we use on a daily basis to those used in the past.
