Knotting: The Royal hobby you've never heard of - A forgotten textile craft

So I'm a long time textile enthusiast, particularly historical textiles. A while ago I ran out of new crafts to learn UNTIL I came across a knotting shuttle during my tatting research, which opened up a whole can of beans full of thirsty poets, offending God, 1600's smut and - thankfully - little to no actual beans. I learned to knot from the channels linked below but could find very little else out on the topic of knotting. There was no Wikipedia page, it wasn't even included on the Heritage Crafts website (my usual go-to for choosing crafts to resurrect) so I wrote to them, making a case for Knotting to be included and sending all the information I could find. Far be it for me to let a ton of adequate research go to waste, I thought I'd turn it into a more consumable form to, essentially, 'get the word out' about this craft. I am super duper not an academic, essays and research were never my strong suit and my only goal here is to say 'hey, isn't it so weird that this craft that multiple queens of England did, songs and poems were written about, and was practiced for over 100 years just vanished into obscurity?' That's basically it. I should also mention that, although the shuttle I'm using is not for sale, I do make and sell similar on my Etsy shop. However this video was made as a love letter to a mysterious and forgotten craft, not to sell you anything. With a bit of cardboard you can make a perfectly functional knotting shuttle and I fully recommend you do so. It has become my dedicated fidget toy for long journeys and if I can bring a new love for an old craft to just one person then that's worth more than a sale to me. Just leaving the link here for those who have tried knotting with alternative tools and want to take the plunge into a dedicated shuttle and who, like me (and the well-to-do ladies mentioned in this video) enjoy their boujie crafting tools https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/SongSpin...
