Inktober 2021 - Knot

For this prompt images of various strings, earphones (with cables), slinkies, or even (very old) telephone wires come to mind. These are the kinds of things I've unknotted in my time, not including complex interpersonal interactions!!

However, something altogether tastier came to mind, and perhaps because I am not able to really partake of such. I am currently living gluten-free as far as possible (its everywhere), so I thought, why not the 'bakers knot', a symbol of love in and of itself, tasty, definitely not gluten-free, in as simple a fashion as possible I attempted to capture the likeness of a Pretzel, in my experience, a small 'biscuit' style treat encrusted with coarse salt, sesame seeds, and a shiny surface. I haven't had or seen them for years!
