Synopsis

Macrame, the art of knot tying, is a creative and satisfying handcraft that will permit you to find personal expression in your own work of art. Although macrame has been used for centuries for utiltraian and decorative purposes, it has just recently regained its popularity as a handcraft. Macrame's popularity has spread because it is a versatile, inexpensive, and transportable hoby that can be worked on almost any place and any time. This book was planned for the macrame enthusiast who would like to learn the basic knot techniques and develop his own individual skills. Directions are given for the decorative and practical macrame projects that illustrate some of the unique methods of combining the elementary knots. Because craft stores carry such a wide and ever-changing variety of cords and yarns, we have mentioned general guidelines rather than to recommend specific materials when purchasing cord for a project. Contents: Introducting Macrame, Learning the Basic Knots, Projects for Beginners, Advanced Knots, General Techniques, Design and Color Ideas, Ingenuity in Macrame, Macrame for Children, Glossary
