A Frayed Knot


There were jingle bells in the Close, on Tuesday as Santa came calling. His sleigh was being towed by a car... and the parking situation being crazy as ever, the poor driver had to reverse really slowly to get back to the main road. 
On Wednesday, the Shed Project had their Christmas Mardle. A dozen or so turned up, and it was great for the wives to actually meet. Bob was thrilled that everything has come together so well, and the Shed really is achieving good things.

It was chilly, I was grateful for my warm golden jacket with its fur trimmed hood. I came home and found an email about next Monday - the craft group Xmas get-together. Janet is going to teach us to make macrame trees like this. The email said "please bring string and wooden beads" 
l decided that the macrame plant holder I made18 months ago should be dismantled. It was not fit for purpose [the pot fell out in the slightest breeze] So Wednesday evening I watched the Repair Shop, then Shetland, whilst untying all those knots

Eventually I ended up with the string and beads I needed, Bob kindly wound the lengths into tidy balls of yarn. 
I may post tree pictures next week. 
I don't really think macrame is my craft of choice!

  1. Macrame was a big thing in 1970s... I remember my mother in law teaching me how to make a pot plant holder.... have fun with your tree making!

  2. I'm sure your macrame trees will be lovely. I remember enjoying doing macrame in the 1970s and even the '80s. Haven't done any, recently.
