How can you make an easy french knot ? I heard that it is possible to make a colonial stitch. Please. Thanks.

There is a GREAT tutorial called "Fear Not The French Knot" on a blog called "weelittlestitches"

Do a google search for it since we are not allowed to post links.   There are pictures and a perfect video of how to do it perfectly.

Great resource! Thank you. I also heard that you can just bead instead of French knot where they are in the pattern, but I guess that only works if you like the look of beads, and also find beading easier than French Knotting.
