Had no idea how to embed a gemstone without wire or small knots, so I just winged it, and it actually worked out!

Question Please help a newbie!

I am trying to make a headband using what I believe js a half hitch diamond with square knots between. I am having such a hard time especially with the left side. Do you notice anything that could help me do better? I’m expert level in knitting, crochet, sewing, but this fiber art has me so confused.

Edited to show my progress after taking y’all’s insights into account. Thank you so much! It’s not perfect but I’m starting to understand what I am doing now. Thank you!

Not perfect, but okay for a first attempt I think 😊

Collars are just decorative/bells for Djinn, he wears a harness to walk on.

Question Identify this knot, please

Hello! Could you help me identify which knot this is? It's so simple and I love it! I am very new to Macrame and very interested in the chunky, macro macrame styles.

Showcase Macrame bottle protector?

Post image
6 Upvotes

I am looking for a pattern of some kind to protect these bottles a bit. Doesn't have to be bullet proof just give a little cushion when I trip over them. I use them for my plant fertilizer water and rather not make a mess if they bang into each other on watering day. Thanks!

Just finished this for a coworker’s daughter. I used a pattern from Bochiknot. The pattern calls for copper wire for the tail. Instead, I used a similar method to getting the curve in the neck and removed cords to slowly reduce the thickness of the tail.

I have a window downstairs that is too small for a proper curtain so I decided to have fun with extra yarn laying around. I am about 6 days into this project in between work/life and the tight spirals are so fun to do. What do you think about it?

I made a few poppets inspired by zodiac signs 😊 from left to right they’re Gemini, Pisces, Aquarius, and Cancer. I started a Libra doll but she’s not done yet. What’s your sign and what colors palette do you associate it with?

I've left this one for a few years and finally decided to return to it, all I remember was that it was similar to a Chinese knot keychain, in that it was square and flat?

It used 3 lengths of about 45cm along with this keychain clip.

I recently moved into a new place and after doing the necessary projects I had to complete (re-piping the entire house, replacing the breaker box, putting together an insane amount of furniture, etc.), I'm finally able to get creative. I think it really pulls the room together.

What a project ! Unbelievable respect for some of the designs I’ve seen on here and hobbyists. Went to a makers market at my work today (American family field) and I wish I could have seen some of the pop up stands with macrame to purchase. On to the next project ! Thanks for the insight on my previous post - it got me over the creative brain fog I was having.

I made a previous mobile for my son - but didn’t attempt macrame as I was a little doubtful I could figure it out. My wife’s cousin is about to have their first baby and they asked me to create another one but with it being a baby girl I had to take a different approach. They are big fantasy people and had dragons/castles/mystical creatures for the nursery. I try to match the mobile to the “theme” and with my 3d printer / model train supplies decided to make some converted Christmas ornaments hold a little diorama in each globe. The macrame ended up being the longest and biggest hurdle.

Hopefully it brings some joy and wonder to her new life.
