Macramé: From the First Knot to the Finished Design

Macramé shelf

“We are now at the end of the course. I hope you enjoyed it and enjoyed it as much as I did! Always remember to practice, be patient, and give yourself a try. Not everything works on the first try! If you are dealing with macrame for the first time, I would advise you to look for a quiet place - the creativity then usually comes all by itself. First, familiarize yourself with the materials you have chosen - especially the different types of yarn: Get to know their properties in order to better understand their strengths and weaknesses.

Another important point is the organization: try to plan your project in advance if possible so that the creation phase goes smoothly and without problems and you avoid waste. Which knots and patterns do you want to bring in? How big should your work be roughly? Make a sketch. You can be inspired by the patterns around you! Nature, art and architecture are wonderful sources of inspiration. Now is the time to prepare your workspace: cut your yarn to size and secure it in place before starting to tie different knot patterns into a wall hanging and place fringes. Finally, tie two suspensions and place your shelf. After the work is done, it would be great if you shared a snapshot of your creation with the community! I am very excited to see what you have created and would like to leave you a short feedback. Simply click on the "Create your project" button to upload your work to the forum. I'll get back to you as soon as I can. If you have any questions, please also ask them in the forum. There we help each other and share our experiences. Finally, I would like to encourage you once again to dare to experiment. For example, instead of a shelf, just knot a wall hanging, use different colors, add additional fringes or place several shelves. You can also change the knot sequence and try out new patterns ... There is so much to discover and so many possible variations! I was very happy to show you a little bit of my world. Hope to see you soon in the forum where you can show me your macrame exercises and projects. Until then - have fun!”
