Life has a way of tangling itself up. Sometimes in ropes, sometimes in branches, sometimes in our own heads. Around here, we call that being caught up in good intentions.
On paper, good intentions sound clean—do the right thing, make the right choice, follow the right path. But reality? It’s knotty. It pulls in ten different directions at once. You try to help, you try to build, you try to create—and somehow the rope still ends up wrapped around your foot, or dangling just out of reach.
That’s the beauty of it, though. A good knot doesn’t look perfect when you first tie it. It tightens under pressure. It holds when things start pulling apart. And that’s what good intentions are really about—not being polished, but being tested.
Knotty Intentions was never about looking picture-perfect. It was about climbing into the chaos, turning slips into style, and finding strength in the tangle. Whether it’s a rope high in a Cape Cod pine, or the rope-logo printed across a hoodie, the message is the same: good intentions aren’t meant to be neat. They’re meant to be lived, pulled on, stretched, and proven.
So here’s to getting caught up. In ideas, in dreams, in rope burns, in late-night brainstorms. Here’s to making something out of the mess.
Because being caught up in good intentions? That’s exactly where the best knots start.
