Welcome back! I just have to say it’s crazy the amount of creations you can make with a piece of string/cord! This week I chose to tackle the creation of glass coasters. Come along with me and see how this journey went 🙂 What I learned/Resource Reflection  Yes, you best believe it this week I used TikTok as my go to resource. I got lost in this virtual world as I was seeking out a macramé coaster tutorial. Swipe…Swipe….Swipe…. OOOO FOUND ONE!  Before beginning my creation, I had to measure out my cord. I cut out 5 feet of holding cord (the cord I will be working with the most)…

Hello fellow Blog followers!  I have finally gotten the hang of the berry knot and double half-hitched knot. Last week, I struggled, but hey…practice makes progress. I haven’t quite perfected it, but I significantly improved from last week! For me, that is a win!

Please check it out, it provides some great information! Let me dive in and share my experience…

Welcome to my EDTEC 300 Learning Project! I have decided to challenge myself by diving into the beautiful art of macramé knots. I am a complete beginner when it comes to this new hobby I hope to master. I know that it involves knots, cords, and patterns, but how to actually put it all into action, complete BEGINNER!  Why macramé? I’ve taught myself how to knit, crochet, and both involve working with yarn and following patterns. I figured, why not try patterned knots with a string called cord? It can’t be that hard.. right? Hopefully, my string-based skills from knitting and crocheting will allow me to grasp the understanding of…
