In any, and every, case...Thank you for your amazing, clear, concise and beautifully demonstrated videos xxxooo 💗🙏🕯️always, all ways grateful for your teachings.

    Good, concise instructions. It has been years since I did serious macrame and I am working on a medium sized wall hanging. I want a knotwork piece to hang it from rather than a strand of rope. I think the single strand braid might be perfect but hadn't seen how to tie it. Thank you so much.

    Knowledgeable Knot Kgnostic... As I have one hand with a single pinch point due to an unfortunate degloving event during an auto-pedestrian I was on losing end of and then the other hand, I have no feeling in the tips plus an inch up on my thumb, index and middle fingers due to pinched nerves in my neck from my unfortunate choice in a girlfriend, I was able to fortunately master the Falling In braid for some craft work I needed done.
    It's taken about 2½ hours to figure out the proper technique that I can do with these limitations but your patient words helped me be patient with myself.

    For the first pattern, my question is: how do you tie a rope onto a pole with only one end? There suppose to be 2 ends. Where is the other end? Did you hide it(joking)? If there is actually 1 end, How do you make it?

    • @bennyfrank5262
      @bennyfrank5262 2 роки тому +1

      It varies from knot to knot and project to project. Sometimes you only need one longer string, other times two, three, etc.. I know it is time consuming, but over time you will get the hang of it. You can never have too long 😊.

  • @anitasapra

    I am just getting into macrame and I came across your videos that I am definitely learning from. But how in the world did you tie the first head knot on that rod with a single strand? I am referring to the very first single strand knot you showed in this video. How did you tie that head knot on the rod? I cannot figure it out. Can you please show us? Please. Thanks

      Hey, I don’t know if the answer will be relevant for you after such a long time but I believe she used a regular lark’s headknot at the top and just pulled the other string out of the way. So it’s still there we just can’t see it…

    Woah, I really benefited thank you, I love this kind of videos
    But I am wondering, as a start of a small project, how much will it cost me, what materials will I need, and what is the simplest thing to start with: mirrors or small macrames or what?

    • @GrayWonders
      @GrayWonders  3 роки тому

      I’m so happy this video was helpful for you! I always recommend starting with either a small wall hanging or a plant hanger as these projects won’t be too overwhelming and can be made with just the basic knots.
      As far as cost goes, it really just depends on where you buy your materials from. Cotton rope is by far the favorite and most used. There are many online shops that sell the rope. 😊
