The Final Sweater Vest

What if knit was the past tense of knot? IS ANYONE ELSE CONFUSED? Because you say I knotted my shoes or whatever, but then like I knit the the sweater ((k)not that you knot a sweater, but they're pretty much the same word) but didn't like knit your shoelaces, you knotted them.... but you can knit your eyebrows together and it's present tense! What the heck is up with English? No me gusta. Espanol es mas mejor. De todo. Si, mucho.
