"The Macrame Bible is a comprehensive guide to the craft of macramé with
illustrated instructions for all the basic techniques, the knots and popular
knot patterns as well as step-by-step instructions for projects. It includes
all the classic macramé knots and patterns as well as more contemporary
designs such as leaves, wings and other motifs. In addition to the knot and
pattern instructions there are step-by-steps for 17 projects including large
wall hangings and plant holders. Author, Robyn Gough, explains all the
basics including information about all the main tools and materials. She
explains the difference between various types of macramé cord and what's
the best one to use for a specific project to get the best results. As well
as outlining the different types of cords there is information about the
other essential tools and materials as well as advice about using
accessories and beads to embellish your projects. Robyn shares her practical
tips and tricks for getting started, as well as really useful advice such as
how to manage lengths of rope as you are working on projects to stop them
getting tangled. There are detailed instructions and step-by-step artworks
for different ways to start a macramé project whether it's a large hanging
on a dowel or a small sinnet or panel, so you can see the best ways to get
started. There is also detailed advice about different finishing techniques
including how to weave in ends to keep things tidy, and how to get the
finished look that you want whether that's a super smooth fringe or a
twisted, rustic look - the choice is yours. So that you don't get stuck
there is a detailed section on troubleshooting where Robyn identifies common
problems and how to fix them. So, whether you are new to macramé and
looking for technical know-how or you are an experienced knotter who wants
to expand your knowledge and build your skills, the Macramé Bible has it
all." -- Provided by publisher.
