Hey Freygundr!
It's very straight-forward I assure you!, (don't look at me like that! it IS straight-forward honest!), you could pick it up easily. At some point I will upload a How-to on the basics ...,of different aspects of knotting and macrame and you'll see what I mean...

...And, before I write anything else: Thank you so much! for the :+fav: it gives me a thrill each time it happens..it's always nice to receive encouragement especially from ones peer group who actually know about crafts and creating...

Glad about the bleach being in time!;)
lol, :wave: Peter

:giggle: well, I don't know anything about this but it looks soooo hard. I know how to make macrame bracelets... but just the easy ones you make as a child :D It is fun! I would actually like to learn how to make more macrame, but it scares me lol! it looks difficult!

and you're welcome :D

OK...I'll help. Don't be scared though! :

1:It IS fun!
2:It DOES take practice...
3:It DOES pay off handsomely as you've seen in my work.
4: If you do this with a reasonable amount of dedication, (at your own speed, no rushing or worrying required), then you will slap a serious smile on your own face for your acheivements no matter how "simple" or "complex" the piece, and, give pleasure to others who see your work...
5: I'll put some stuff up, then you can practice a bit and show me what you've done. I will then give you some pointers or advice, if necessary, and then suggest the next stage... and move on from there?
6: We can start with what you know about macrame bracelets.. pop a piece of macrame work, (if you have one...if you haven't just make a little strip of knotting about 6 inches by 2 inches..),in your scrapbook or as a sub naturally if you think its good! and I'll look at it to see your style, knotting, tensioning etc...
7: Let me know which knots you know...

How does all that sound? I will probably upload the first tutorial in about a week...

lol, Peter :wave: :)

Well, thanks! I don't know if I remember very much of what I used to know about macrame :giggle: but I will give it a try and upload it as soon as I manage to make something decent :D. I used to make lots of bracelets when I was a child, but it's been like 12 years so... :giggle:

And yay for tutorials!! :woohoo:

It's not about making something "decent" just whatever you do is fine.... It's about seeing where you are at with knotting so I don't waste your time Telling you "A B & C" when you aready know "A" or "B" or "C" about knotting.... :) About the 12 years thing: We can start from the very beginning if you prefer, in which case just tell me and you won't need to upload anything before we start....!

Pero bueno esta es todo por el momento chica, me voy trabajar ahora entonces hasta la proxima y suerte con toda!, tu amigo, Peter :)

Well, I spent some time giving it a try today, but I have to say I give up :giggle: I thought I remembered more or less how to do it, but when I started trying I just couldn't.

Anyway, thanks for the help :D I would really appreciate it! knots have always been a mistery for me :D See you!
Oh, and please don't hate me if I don't answer messages next week :P I will be out of the city from monday to friday.
