The brutal honesty of your impatience with stain and making it worse by fixing it later is definitely my biggest struggle with craft projects! No patience! I think yours turned out better than the cover package.

Love the way you say Macrame.

This reminds me of making friendship bracelets with embroidery thread when I was a kid.

That looked like so much fun! And it turned out great! :D

Thank you for your thorough instructions and explanations on how you achieved those side knots. I attempted a macrame keychain and stopped when every video and description of how to do those did not work for me. Off to dig that project back out of the pile!

Great job. Looks fun.

Nice job! I like it! ❤

I find beginner sets for a new craft are intermediate at the least. I don’t think I’ve ever seen any that don’t have missing descriptions/instructions or unclear sizing/instructions 😂

Watching while working on my backstitching, gotta admit your far more interesting 😂 I love macramé which is why I refuse to do it. I know I won't stop lol I remember getting w best friend bracelet kit when I was a child and figuring out all the knots. It wasn't easy then either lol can't wait to see what else you make

I would never succeed to do this kit with only the pictures they gave, I need at least a video tutorial to try a new craft! 🤭 Well done on figuring out how to do this, that was quite impressive! 😊I'm glad you found a new craft you like! 🥰

I was trying to figure out why the "larks head knot" looked so familiar. We call it a "cow hitch knot" where I live in the US lol

Nice! Don't know if I'll try it or not. I am trying something new with my friends at the end of the month. We are going to take a class in fusing glass or something like that. I'll let you know how it goes. Take care.

I guess the single hook could work if you start by making the rope hanger and hook the hook to that?? You’re sitting there in front of the gorgeous embroidery floss display talking about macramé and I’m thinking: what about multi-coloured mini macramé with embroidery floss? 🧐 Actually, is that what friendship bracelets are? 😮 Mini macramé? I had a go at making one once and seem to remember that flipping the knot manoeuvre. Huh! Thanks for sharing your crafting. It’s an encouragement to dig out that macramé cord I purchased on impulse some years ago and haven’t tried out yet. It’ll be in the “I’ll get to this one day” pile with all the other hopeful crafts. 😊

Nice job! This was great. I have a macrame kit that I’ve never gotten around to starting for all the reasons you can imagine and pushed through. It found its way into my possession just because I want to eventually try all the fiber arts. 🤓 I don’t know if I’ll open the kit tomorrow or next week, but thanks for the reminder! It was helpful to see how you tackled it, and I’ll keep it in mind when I really start eyeing my kit, probably over the holidays.

This turned out great! And it looks like a great craft for a fidgety person! Your enthusiasm for the square knots reminds me of the time I was addicted to making origami lucky stars, which basically start with a knot in paper and sated all my fidgety needs. I have no idea when I'll get around to trying the macrame kit I got, but after watching this, I'm nervous that it's going to be way too complex for a beginner. (It's a bird cage plant hanger thing.) Might need to find something else to practice with first.

I have been doing macrame for many, many years and that kit was not good for a beginner nor was it detailed enough. And yes they should have provided two S hooks. You did an amazing job. I am super impressed. Way to go.

🫣 I do not need a new craft, I do not need a new craft, I do not need a new craft 🫣 but that does look pretty cool 👀

could wrap the dowel in your washi tape :D

I will never buy a macramé plant potholder again

You had LOUSY instructions. Don't feel bad. I was lucky, one of my friends taught me how to macromer'.
