Cathy;
Do you have the book or is Henry helping you or do you want me to get you started.  Did you find the pre, cut squares?

Hi Miranda,
I got the book from bookshare and it is entitled: friendship bracelets and is by Camilla Gryski.  I browsed through the book and it looks quite accessible, with word descriptions, so it is certainly an option to learn from. Not the first time I learned a craft from a book. I learned how to macramé from a book as well. but that was years ago and I don't remember what the book was called. It was in Braille I am pretty certain of that. I remember making a hanging table and a couple of purses. 
I also remember with a grimace that I was so into the craft that I stopped holding my cat on my lap during the five o'clock news and in retaliation he peed all over a purse I was making!  Yuck!  
I have two cats now and am careful not to ignore them when they want to be held, so you could say that I learned a lot from that experience. The purses must have been pretty because a month or two ago, my mom happened to mention that she still owns a purse I made for her in macramé. I hadn't even remembered I'd made her a purse. <smile>  maybe I should go on a search to find that macramé book, but when I'd have time to begin another project I do not know. next week I am going to delve into learning plastic canvas and make coasters, so that will keep me busy and I don't want to overwhelm myself with having too many things  going on at once.  But it sure is difficult to resist all these classes and the opportunity to learn something new. 
Cathy
