Jan 03, 2022 Kat rated it it was amazing

save for later reference, most projects are pretty cool.

For those of us remember the 1970's will know that Macrame was hugely popular back then and now it is making a comeback, not only for crafters but also for the modern home.

Of course it has come a long way, and is not just used to make those plant holders we all remember with our mothers Bizzy Lizzys hanging in the kitchen.

This book is just amazing and the art of tying knots is brought bang up to date. with door hangings, bunting and table runners.

This book is just amazing and the art of tying knots is brought bang up to date. with door hangings, bunting and table runners.

This is book that gives you a comprehensive lesson in Macrame. Instructions on tying knots, what you need to get started and of course hints and tips to get a professional result.

The projects are brilliantly spectacular..my favourites are the Hanging light, the Door hanging and the Deck chair. Inspiring and useful, each one is just beautiful. The colours of the rope used in each project is divine, and give a modern and stylish look.

Yes the humble Planter does make an appearance, but in all honesty it is given an update with the many different knots that are shown.

I loved this book, and as soon as my rope arrives I will be giving it a go for definite.

Av två som kallar sig själva "ledande namn i makramévärlden". Makramévärld, fiddlesticks! som Marilla skulle sagt. De har så klart också en "hugely successful online business". (Millennials, månne?)

En idébok att bläddra i. Det bästa är en riktigt pedagogisk genomgång av knutarna i början. Sedan kan man fråga sig hur många av de 24 projekten som är "easy", egentligen.

Hur som helst, började av en ren händelse med makramé för knappt en månad sedan och jag gillar det verkligen. Tror att en kombination av YouTube-tutorials, vanliga hederliga illustrationer, Londonworkshops - som alltid finns en masse, bara man letar lite - och sådana här böcker blir bra.

Disappointing

I don't think that this book is very good for beginners, maybe confident beginners and beyond, while there are projects for the beginner, I feel that the instructions may not be enough, I am a visual learner and the lack of picture instructions would not be helpful.
I wouldn't have purchased this book if I'd been able to see it beforehand and I did try the sample first, but it only showed writing and some of the knots. I'm sure it will sit some and has some good ideas in it, hence th

Compared to other macrame books I've read in my current craft phase, this has a wider variety of types of projects and general construction ideas (hanging baskets! Lawn chairs! A swing! A circular wall medallion that doesn't sell itself as a dream catcher!). Not as many interesting stitches and knot combinations, though.

Fun projects with well detailed instructions & pictures!

I found some beginner plant hangers I am looking forward to making. When I become a pro, I'll be making that deck chair - love it

Pretty fancy projects, clear enough instructions, but nothing I'd ever do. August 2021

Great projects and well-explained instructions for beginners and those with more advanced skills. I was successfully able to make the basic plant hanger on the first go! Looking forward to trying more of these projects soon.
