Knotwork
A knotty deductive puzzle inspired by the ancient art-form of celtic knotwork. The goal is to finish the knot by connecting up all visible threads and dots to form a single continuous loop.
As you will soon discover... you can only explore a limited section of the knotwork, starting from the top-left corner. As you connect more dots you will be able to explore deeper into the design but you will still only have access to the two ends of the path you've explored so far. This might seem a little restrictive, but I guarantee you can logically deduce the whole design without resorting to pencil-and-paper.

Sorry @moonischeese... I've deleted your post. The screenshot of the solution was too much of a spoiler. But thanks for playing. :)
I have connected up all the threads. (spoiler below)

Ah! Good catch. Of course... all dots must be linked into the knot also. The goal was originally "connect up all the dots" but someone discovered a solution that didn't use all the threads, so I changed the wording. It looks like another tweak is required! :)
huh, i remember seeing this earlier... another case of the projects not being hidden properly lmao
Really fun!
