Hi Joe,
Lots of good info here. Thanks a lot. I do want to try things with a
different cord.  You are a wealth of information.

Hello Laura,

Sorry I had to drop out early, phone was beeping and soon ran out of power.
I hope that you told everyone about what the half square knot does?  Making
a belt like you were having them do, but now only use half square knots
makes it swirl round and feel like a corkscrew.  It makes unusual belts,
thiner string bracelets, necklaces, keyrings etc.  

Like Laura told you, if making any of these things have the length of string
four times the finished projects length.  Keyrings are great because you
make a small overhand knot around the keyring and macrame away.  Do half
square knots and once in awhile when the four strings are as flat as you can
make them, throw in a few square knots and maybe a bead or two with more
full square knots and back to the half.  You can play around and design your
own keyrings, I've done thousands and not two were exactly the same.  If you
like the feel of the twisting half knots, add beads  every twist.  If you
find a thin enough string buy glass beads that you can put all four strings
through.

If I can help get the right size string and glass beads, please write me
back and I will see if my wife will take me to the craft store in town.

Lovenergy,
Joe

P.s. create and enjoy your creativeness.
