“Cord Mess”
This is how things started yesterday! I wanted to practice with some new macramé knots, after completing this bunch of bracelets recently:
They are all made with Lark’sHead Sennit, which is a knot that I find simple and stylish.
Sherri Haab’s book Beaded Macramé Jewelry is a very nice reference to all the basic knots:
This time, I wanted to try the Alternate Half Hitch Knot, tied around a filler cord and to incorporate some tiny faceted hill tribe silver beads in the design:
I finished the bracelet with three labradorite nuggets:
Making macramé jewelry does not require special equipment. Here’s a simple way, to hold your work in place while knotting:
…..and this is another one that I finished, using fuchsia waxed linen cord and silver beads. By making it, I wanted to practice the wrapped finishing knot, which is a type of sliding closure.
I’m keeping these two for myself, but I’ll be making more soon!
Other than that, I completed another custom pair of Crocheted Flower Earrings, by combining these two colors:
They proved to be a very popular design!
