Knotting not knitting …
Occasional posts on my dabbling with macrame!
I have completed the macrame market bag (Hobbycraft pattern 0160).
Now I am not going to get all of my market shop in this. It is a strange narrow affair. My son did ask whether I had done any width by depth calculations? My bewildered expression lead him to comment it is quite good for a first attempt…
Well that is how I am going to look at it. I actually really enjoyed the criss-cross pattern and in the end I was quite proficient at square knots. Sat on the floor cross-legged knotting away with just the sound of the river in the background was quite therapeutic. I am still not convinced about my gathering knot and would certainly not want to carry anything heavy in it for fear the bottom gathering knot would give way! π
Anyway it is the perfect size to carry a bottle of wine…
So yes I will have another go but meanwhile chin chin π·…
Very nice! My first attempt was anything but cute! lol It looks like a 5 year old did it. Well, my knitting was very pretty at first, either. π

You’re welcome! π Perhaps not as busy as it seems. I’ve got lots of time to post and hangout on here telling tales of my life. Thank you for reading, too! β₯
