Very cool! Like the look of the cording instead of the hemp. Much more refined looking. Would look nice with some polymer clay beads!

I haven’t done macramé for many years. These photos have me excited to do it again. The projects are gorgeous!

wow, those things are mostly really lovely. I think it would kill my hands, but really pretty stuff. macrame without hilariousness just isn’t the same.

What a wonderful book!

I received a copy to review and even though I am an experienced micro macrame artist, I found a lot of inspiration and new ideas in this book.

The illustrations are beautiful and the instructions are easy to follow. The book contains projects for beginners as well as experienced knotters.

As a child of the 60s I worked my way from sailors’ bracelets to plant hangers and on and on. I remember a HUGE bib-like necklace I made for my mother. She wore it all the time, so I guess she liked it. Found it recently. Soooooo hideous.

Wow – I definitely do not need a new craft obsession, but these projects are tempting. I’m especially loving the bracelet potential. Everything is so beautiful!

I love this! It reminds me of a cording style from Korea. I’m sure it’s a type of macrame, but it’s small like this micro kind. Very cool!

I’ve had my eye on that book for a while- definently on my “to buy when gainfully employed” list.

Wow, such beautiful projects – so very appealing. I love that it’s a completely new take on the macrame I knew and loved years ago. Great review, Diane.

Lately, I have been collecting macrame books. I am just crazy about the designs. Thank you for the review. I love her dragonfly.

The only micro-macrame I’ve done were friendship bracelets in the 80’s. Fun, but not as lovely as these projects!

Thanks for the review. I’m loving the projects! I was a pretty avid macrame’-er back in my younger days.
