Hey ya`ll. I am just wondering where you find your inspiration for new knots or Projects? I am stuck on Pinterest. Sometimes YouTube and Instagram.

I am nearing the end of a curtain I've been working on, and I am rather inexperienced.

What would you do to secure these two cords that I used to create the loops for the curtain rod?

They are just hanging there and I am having some issues figuring out how to best handle them.

I got some new macrame yarn when I started up again a while ago but I got distracted in the meantime. The project I'm trying to do (partially for practice) expected a single stand but the only stuff I could get quickly was twisted and 2-4 ply. (I'm disabled and can't get to stores without a lot of work so I ordered from Amazon). This is what I ended up getting.

I know there is a trick with twisted yarn to keep it from ratcheting down. I know I have to twist, I think the base cord? But I don't remember what direction. I tried to search in the community but the word twist often comes up to refer to spiral knots.

After realizing that I was misunderstanding the Bochiknot instructions and needed to turn the project around to face another direction rather than flip it over I unknotted everything and started over so this is some reknotted cord and the reason the knots aren't all in the same direction is that this project calls for rotating the project between some of the rows. Given that I was working with rumpled cord from unknotting and that I haven't made a double half hitch with a non-satin cord in a long time I'm ok with how it looks but I'm hoping that 1) this faces the inside of the peony I'm making and 2) that y'all can remind me what the trick is when using twisted yarn. (I plan to buy some from unfettered in the future but I want to give this yarn a real chance.)

I told my partner I was taking this picture because I was going to ask the macramasters for help - and then had to explain that I came up with that term on the fly. Thanks for helping my get my practice in (in advance).

I'm cannot find the name of this center knot. Or is there even a name for it vs just being one knot on top of another?

There's a hole through the main stone/bead right where the bottom of the woven pendant is; I have a similar stone that I'd like to try this with, but haven't been able to find a similar pattern. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

How do you keep your cat from helping with your projects? Mine is not very helpful.. :D

i think its 5 gallons? im strong enough to hold it when its full but a handle to hold on to would make it so much easier to transport from the store.

Hello ya'll. I am new to macrame, but allready hooked.🫶🏼 Now I am searching for good yarn, which can be shipped to Germany. May Here are some german macramee lovers. 🙏🏼

Tl:Dr Hoopla often has macrame books which is fantastic because things lent through that site have seemingly infinite licenses to loan out the books.

The macrame books I got in the 90s when macrame had a much smaller trend going on were 20 dollar plus books with often only 25 pages and the patterns were likely two or three photos and then a list of how many of each knot. It was expensive to produce things like this... With ebooks it's a whole new world.

I mostly buy or look at photo tutorials. Partially this is because I like to watch TV while I work, and partly because I find it easier to keep going back to the figure I needed earlier... Especially if it was months ago. Obviously well filmed videos can take the mystery out of many knots, although there are also a lot of sites with knot animations.

I looked at my libraries' ebook section and couldn't find a single book which annoyed me because it's easy to think something is going to be useful and it turns out to be the wrong thing, I love returning ebooks and knowing the next person on the list gets it.

Hoopla turned out to be where my two libraries were putting the ebooks. Hoopla has the amazing benefit that every thing they have is always instant to borrow (they get seemingly infinite licenses so there aren't any hold queues) and no limit to how often you check them out. The only limit is the number of things you borrow per month.

The only other down side of Hoopla is very minor but if you are using the app on a tablet and have a remote, for some reason Hoopla doesn't interact with it. It's the only reading app I've found like this. But there are remotes designed with a sender and a receiver which do wotk.

Hi Looking for a ukulele hanger pattern, has anyone seen a good one online or in a book? Hoping to find it at the library. Thanks!

I have an old macrame instruction book from the 70’s. I’m going to try to make a hanging table. The instructions say to use 168 yards of cord that is 4 ply/120 or 5 ply/72 jute or equivalent thickness of cotton. How many mm is this? Sorry if the answer should be obvious. There is a discussion in the book about “ply” but it doesn’t help me. Thank you!
