Macramé at Home: Add Boho-Chic Charm to Every Room with 20 Projects for Stunning Plant Hangers, Wall Art, Pillows and More

After having bought several macrame books (as a complete beginner) and having time to check out each book and make a few projects, I feel like I can finally leave a review. If you are hesitating to pick a macrame book from Amazon, do not wait in this one (or any other macrame books by this author)! Things that are great about this book that others have fallen short on: 1) Amazing photos. Clear, beautiful pictures. Easy to see the steps. 2) Beautiful projects. Wide variety of projects to try! Need I say more? 3) Well-explained steps, beginner information, where to source materials, etc. 4) Clear information. Tells you what size/length of material you need, the approximate skill level for each project and refers you back to the knots resource pages by page number for each knot used in the project. Can't say how helpful this was to easily flip through the book and find exactly what I needed. I have been very surprised at the poor quality of photos, lack of photos for the project end result, unclear directions, and how many other books rely on drawings to show steps. This book does none of that. Can't recommend this book enough. Wish the author would come out with another book!

I love this book! It has lots of great projects with easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions. The book itself is beautifully done with pretty fonts and lots of inspirational photos. I just finished my first project (which looks like it needs a bit more trimming!) I can't wait to start on another project. I will definitely get this author's other book on macrame.

Loooooove this book. Really interesting patterns and things that you haven’t seen a million times elsewhere. They’re also easy patterns to use as guides, but make your own adjustments and unique patterns. My only very minor criticism is that while the knot guides are done very well and simple to understand, the white cord on the white background is very hard to see. I’ve been doing this for a decade, so I know what they are but it might be tricky for beginners to see. Still doesn’t even feel worth knocking it down a star, but something to keep in mind for future books. Can’t wait to make my table runners for my friends wedding!

I'm a creative artist: photographer, fiber artist, and painter. I created macrame pieces in the '70s and '80s so the craft is not new to me. I revisited macrame to expand my fiber work into home decor a few years ago and have been studying and researching many current macrame artists. I follow this author on Instagram and I'm a fan of her designs and her work overall. However, I am disappointed in this publication of some of her designs. I agree with several other reviewers: Why in the WORLD did the author and her team not see that photographing white cord on a white background was a bad idea, especially for a book that relies on visual imagery? Maybe a better photographer with experience with commercial photography and/or book design would have been able to make this work, but it fails. This really takes an otherwise outstanding book down to almost an amateur level. In addition, the poor quality of the photographic images you CAN see is very disappointing. On the plus side, the layout, organization of projects by skill level, and the breakdown of each project by materials and knots used are most helpful. The variety of projects is also a plus, in my opinion.

I bought this as a novice in micro-macrame hemp bracelets looking to go to a bigger scale, but my main worry was, "does it show me the knots I need?" The answer was yes, it does contain detailed step-by-step color photos of the basic knots you need for the patterns in the book! It has a pretty great balance of text and photo examples, so it's great for a visual learner like me. The projects are a range of difficulties for macrame lovers of all skill levels to enjoy, and it even explains ways to make variations of the patterns to create unique pieces for your home. I'll definitely be jumping into the rest of the macrame world as soon as possible!

Ok, I’m going to be honest. I saw this macrame online and thought it was beautiful, so I wanted to try it, so I ordered this perfect book, it came really fast but when it got here I had seen something else I wanted to try, so I kinda forgot about it, but then I looked through it and it was beautiful and really easy to follow. If you are a macrame person you should really buy it

This was supposed to be a new book but the whole bottom corner of the front cover was tore off!

This book explains the knots and has some great and easy to follow patterns.

Excelente, me encanta el macrame

Très beau livre, très bien expliqué!

This was purchased as a present form my wife who is just getting into macramé. She has a few books, but this one along with "Statement Macramé" by the same author are great books. The illustrations are in colour and all of the diagrams are straight forward with the patterns explained well as are the knots. Both are well worth the purchase.

è un libro ben fatto che da molti spunti su come iniziare e tante idee per chi vuole avventurarsi nel mondo del macramè, può essere un buon regalo
