10/15/2020: Macrame is harder than it looks

TIL: Learning something new every day sometimes means learning just a small increment of what was planned. 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 

I thought macrame would be easy. It's just tying knots in string or thread, right? Well, technically yes. However, tying the knots so the end result is attractive is something else entirely. Even simple patterns can be more complicated than they look. Sometimes the knots have to be tied one direction, sometimes another, and not all knots are the same. Not all knots need be tied as tightly as possible. What works in a YouTube tutorial may not work with the materials at hand. I spent several hours today - more time than I originally planned - learning these things and more. The good news is I am now confident I can reasonably attempt the type of micro macrame patterns I like.
