Realised a lifetime ambition to learn macrame, now hopelessly addicted.

I’ve always been attracted to macrame and the ancient craft of knotting. I’m old enough to remember it first time round in the 70s. At last I found a workshop last year and I’m hooked!
I love the detail in the knots, each piece is different, so interesting and tactile.
As for my cat, she thinks it’s playtime when the cords trail over the floor.
I try to use recycled cotton cord if possible and often knot the work on carefully collected pieces of driftwood washed up on the beautiful coastline minutes from my home.
