Macrame: The Craft of Creative Knotting for Your Home

This book is great! My art teacher had this book in her class and I wanted to get one myself to keep at home. The instructions are clear and the visuals are nice to look at since I am a visual learner. This book is nice and I have also bought part 2 of this book as well. ❤️

Easy to follow instructions, great photos.

I JUST got the book, basically a half hour ago & I've paged through the whole thing. It looks too be exactly what I've been looking for. Explains material, good description/diagrams of the knots & patterns of things that I really like. I've been looking for plant hangers specifically, which there are some patterns. It also has other patterns that I really like. I can't wait to try some of them!! Also, I am new to macrame & I honestly think this will be a great book to get started with! I can't wait!

Beautifully organized and printed book but content is not impressive. The only thing I liked is a curtain, everything else is just basic stuff that kids can do in elementary school. Lets say if you can find books for different knitting skill levels I couldn’t find something like that for macrame. Just typical and boring. Now I understand why “look inside “ option doesn’t exist anymore.

This book is a good quality paperback and has color photos of all 21 of the projects in it and the instructions seem very thorough. As a beginner, I am confident that I will be able to follow the steps and complete the projects I am interested in. There are many macrame books to choose from, but I went with this one because even though all of the projects don’t appeal to me, there are enough that do to make it worth the money spent. Seems perfect for learning a new hobby!

I like that the knot diagrams are easy to understand. I like the variety of projects and I can't wait to make more items. So far I have only made a plant hanger for my fern. I get complements on it! I am going to do a banner next and hang it over my doorway. I do wish there were some variations on the same projects, for example a door hanging that goes to the floor, with adjustments for wider door, or a shorter hanging, etc. Also a lot of the projects use rope varying up to 5 mm. It would be cool if you could skip strait to the projects by rope width, using up what you already have. Either way, I am very inspired by this book and this art form and can't wait until my next batch of cord arrives so I can get started on one of the wall hangings!

I'm old enough to remember doing 70's style macrame projects (including a hanging table in olive green poly rope...ugh!) These books are soooo not that! Thank goodness!I bought this book as well as Macrame 2 and love, love, love them both. If you like the boho style you will love them too.The books themselves are beautifully put together. Clear beautifully pictures and precise illustrations and instructions so any project is doable.I'm mostly excited for the projects. When the books first arrived and I was leafing through them I found several projects in each book that I will be tackling.If you're not into the boho look, these books are worth it just for the instructions and illustrations for all the knots you'd ever need for any macrame project. I can't recommend these books enough. Get both!

This book shows you all the basic knots with diagrams on how to tie them. But I found it hard to follow the directions on how to tie the different knots. The patterns are nice but I think kind of difficult for a beginner.
