[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Successful Saturday

Tue Jun 25 00:26:56 UTC 2024

Hi Cathy F., sorry that your plans for a Macrame water bottle holder didn't work out. Do you Loom Knit? I forget if you do or not, if so, you could Loom Knit yourself one.
Where did you find that pattern for a Cable Blanket, and, can you share the Website for it please?
Thank You and God Bless.
Henry

Hi all,
I regret to say that I was unable to successfully make the macrame bottle carrier. I could not figure out how to close the bottom of the holder. Glue would likely not be strong enough. Also, I used a few rings and didn’t like the bulky tube it created. If anyone finds a pattern, let us know. I think a  better option than macrame could be to knit a hat in the diameter needed for the  bottle, then knit it as long as needed. Then  knit  strap and sew it on.
I won’t be making one for my self anytime soon. Instead, besides knitting my cable scarf, I will be beginning work on a latch hook wall hanging. I am looking forward to making another latch hook, because I haven’t done so for a long while. The cable scarf is coming along great.

May God bless you.
 Cathy F

Bummer.I would like to make a Water Bottle Carrier for both of my bottle types. One is skinny and one is about  a quart. I will have to wait until I get home to measure each bottle. Let us know about your pattern and how it turns out. Great Idea.

Since I am not following a pattern and have no idea if my cords will be long enough to make the holder tall enough, I have no idea if this project will work out. Figured it was worth a try since it is a small project and I have extra cord.
