off the top of my head... model the completed bow using ribbon geo deformed on a curve or surface. Envelope chains and or nulls to the deformer surface. Start with the bow knot finished and animate it in reverse (untying). animate the surface deform so the ribbon slides along the path. throw some turbulence rolling down the pre-deformed ribbon for effect ;)
