Thanks for the responses.  To answer questions and
respond, Michael, I don't know the technical terms for
the kinds of knots you are talking about. The only
book I have on the subject is Celtic Art The Methods
of Construction, by George Bain, and I can't find
these terms defined anywhere.  I guess what I'm
looking for are continuous knots found in border
patterns, most of the ones I see Mr. Bain identifies
as being in the Pictish school.  I would love to know
more about them, so if you have any scholarly titles
to suggest for further research, lay them on me.  I'll
be happy with whatever you have in the computer
already, although if you can describe what you have,
I'd love to see what you've got graphed.  I suspect
the braids are what I'm after, although I'd be
delighted to see any zoomorphics, too.  

As to Nancy's question about technique, I'm not picky,
I barely know any of them anyway, so I'd probably have
to learn whatever anyone chose to share with me.  Were
you serious about the 3-dimensional, or was that
tongue in cheek?  If not, what does that look like?

Thanks for the knots, Eckhard, I just downloaded them
off your site.  Weaving with the cat looks very
familiar; I've got 7 of the beasties and sometimes its
very hard to convince them that the catnip mouse on
the floor really is more fun than my warps!

Guido, the bands are lovely, I cruised around your
website despite the German.
