Basic Micro Macramé: Macramé the Macra Mason way
I have been making macramé for about eight years and have made over 800 commissions.
With only four different knitting techniques you can reproduce all the macramé in the world!
Even if you've failed before, you can still get better!
In my opinion, the best way to improve your macramé is to start with micro-macramé.
I would say that micro-macramé is the most difficult in terms of technique alone.
Larger pieces, such as tapestries, can all be made with the micro-macramé technique.
Of course, large pieces have their own difficulties, but in terms of technique, once you have micro-macramé skills, you can make any macramé piece.
Once you can "see the structure" you will be able to make all the macramé in the world just by looking at the pictures.
To help you "See the Structure", this and the next "Intermediate" series will carefully explain the order of the work, the work to be made and how to think about macramé.
I think that once you have made a number of designs in this and the next series, you will be able to "see the structure" to some extent.
In mathematics, if you can only solve problems from textbooks, it is the same as not getting good marks in exams.
In other words, in both study and macramé, the way you are taught, the order in which you are taught, and the way you approach the work (problem) are important, and this is what I have focused on in writing this and my next work.
I think I could write these books because I have not been taught macramé by anyone and I have questioned the way macramé is taught.
If you have ever stumbled with macramé, or if you cannot think your way through your work, it is not because you are not a good macramé artist, but because the way you have been taught to do macramé is wrong!
Don't worry.
When you read this book you will think, "Wow, macramé is easy!
