It's not your grandma's macrame--these designs are fresh and clever, and totally redefine the craft! One big difference: you work from the center outward to the ends, so bulky bunches of threads don't get in the way. That makes life a lot simpler, as does the easily referenced full-color pictorial guide, a boon for beginners, which displays every knot used. Even the most complex project takes no more than a weekend to complete; they're so fabulous, though, that everyone will think they took weeks! Knot your way to personal and home accessories, and jewelry, too. With soft cotton yarn, create a bold, graphically patterned eyeglass case. Try some unusual materials and make a macrame bracelet shimmer with brass and coated wires, accented with sparkly beads. Twist suede strips into an elegantly causal belt, and spiff up a dull winter scarf with your choice of elegant fringe (ornate, multicolored, or Victorian style). And, lots more!
