okay I now understand the French knot thing from personal experience
Today I learned how to make French knots.
I also learned that I do not particularly like French knots.
Also also, I think this particular cross-stitch pattern would have been fine with somewhat fewer French knots and somewhat more single Xs of the thread color in question. They are producing a basically similar effect, but one option is so much less work.

In completely unrelated news, today I renewed my PTIN for the 2025 tax season.
