Product Description
Product Description
Another age-old craft is revamped for the hip crafter who may not have been around to enjoy it the first time around. But projects in this book - from a funky black leather cuff to a summery bamboo-handle purse, and delicate wire chandelier earrings to a vibrant handspun yarn scarf - will appeal to crafters of all ages, not just the younger set. After a step-by-step rundown of all of the basic knots needed to create the projects, readers will be introduced to 25 wearable projects including jewellery, personal accessories and even a halter-top, using a variety of materials.

I remember when a frined of mine got into macrame in the 70's, well here it is looking fresh and new. Cath uses macrame to create jewellery and accessories that look bang up-to-date - there is even an iPod pouch, but other than this and the dog lead and guitar strap (very nice), the book resorts to the ubiquitous belts in the accessories section. It offers a good range of jewellery projects using various materials including wire.

Mod Knots
29 April 2009
Format:Paperback
This is definitely not one of my mother's macramé books from the sixties, which were good but limited in their projects. I have been looking for a good "Macramé" book that offers simple straightforward instructions. However, I also wanted updated and trendy wearable projects. This book met those requirements and more. "Mod Knots" has twenty-five fun and useful projects. The projects vary from a beginner level belt project to the more advance wire knotting jewelry projects.
The step-by-step photography is excellent, as well as the written instructions. I really loved that the author lists each knot and it's corresponding page number for each project. I can look at the knots and figure out if I have the time and attention span to tackle that project
My favorite project is the "Turquoise Donut & Wire" bracelet on page 57. Knotting with wire was challenging but the finished project was well worth the effort. I have one small hint for working with wire that I learned doing this project. Work in warm temperatures, here in Sunny California that is usually every day. If you live or work in a cold climate, you may want to turn on the heater. Cold temperatures make the wire brittle and break easily.
