Macramé

Every few months the Renwick Gallery has a craft happy hour.  September's theme was macrame.

Macrame is a form of textile produced using knotting (rather than weaving or knitting) techniques.  I did a wall hanging rather than a plant holder.  The picture below shows what I started (but didn't finish).

A few weeks later I did a simple wall hanging using colorful yarn.  There are many tutorials including this one on YouTube.  ~ JM

The primary knots of macrame are the square knot.

A simple wall hanging I completed at home.
