#macrame

2 posts2 participants1 post today

It’s another #macramé thing!

I started out thinking I wanted to do one thing but then changed my mind, so the colors are kinda funky. I still need some work on keeping knots consistent on both sides, & the yarn was terrible & crinkly, but I think I learned a lot with this one, so I’m happy.

Probably better to practice yarn rather than thread so i can see the knots better.

It’s ok, def need more practice keeping tension consistent.
Also doesn’t help that I’m half designing this little guy as i go by cobbling together a couple different patterns

Vous connaissez les #poupées vaudou. Mais connaissez-vous les poupées de #sortilège ?

Mon frère m'en a offert une et c'est l'un des objets les plus doux et les plus attentionnés que j'ai reçus ces derniers mois.

Elle me représente, et au lieu de la piquer en lui lançant des mauvais sorts, mon frère y a glissé un rouleau de papier avec un vœu qui m'a tiré une larme, et que je peux remplacer quand j'ai envie.

Vous vous souhaiteriez quoi, vous ?

Elle vient de chez "Orgueil & #Macramé, "une libraire tombée amoureuse d'une bobine de coton", et rien que pour le titre ça vaut le coup d'aller voir ce qu'il y a sur la boutique en ligne !

I made a 6ft tall macrame Christmas tree, having never done macrame before. It's plastic free, made of 100% cotton rope and metal rings. I started with a pattern for a 42in tall tree, and extended it, making a pattern for one section, and using a wall hanging pattern for the last section. It was originally supposed to be 7ft tall and have a trunk, but people (and cat) liked to climb inside, so I left it open. #FibreArt #macrame

The massive Encyclopedia of Needlework by Thérèse de Dillmont, originally printed in 1884, is available for free on Project Gutenberg. Anyone interested in any kind of #textiles work/ #fiberarts will have fun poking around in this book. Nothing specific about #weaving, but lots of finishing techniques that can be incorporated.

Hi there! I'm David. A couple #FinishOrFrogAlong toots crossed my path so I've decided to give it a go myself!

I dabble in a number of different #crafts, but at this precise moment I have a #knitting project to finish up and some more #VisibleMending to repair a chair cushion. Very simple tasks, but it's been tough to make the time lately. Hopefully, this social thing will help me with that!

In addition to those, I've also enjoyed learning a bit of #macrame this year, making #beadsprites with #perlerbeads and the like, and #sewing!

Oh, speaking of sewing, I also have a few diy skylight curtains I still need to hem the edges of!

I'm attending my first #QueerCrafternoon event at end of the month. #LGBTQ2S & comrades(folks like me 😊) are welcome to join their monthly drop in events.

Queer Crafternoon: #Macrame!
