Hello and WELCOME, Fellow Blog Followers! HOLY MOLY MAMA MIA The day has finally arrived… My macramé learning journey blog posts have come to an end. Over the past 6 weeks, I have explored the art of macramé through a series of blog posts where I used web-based resources to help gain skills. Throughout this journey I shared my learning project by creating a beautiful blog using EduSites, sharing my work and resource reflections with you all. Each week, I had to find a new resource to help support the progress of newly formed skills related to macramé and reflect on the resources strengths and potential limitations. This final post…

Hey fellow blog followers! Thanks for visiting my post this week. 🙂 I was beyond excited to dive into this week’s project! I have always wanted to learn how to make a macramé plant hanger. I have a little secret to share… I’m OBSESSED with plants, and this creation fits perfectly in my home. Are you a plant lover like me? What’s your favourite indoor plant? What I learned  Knots, Knots, and more Knots, yes that is correct! If you have been following along with my macramé learning journey you will be familiar with the knots I have used in the past in order to make my plant hanger. I…

Hello Hello Hello! It’s crazy to think I’ve been tackling the art of macramé for 5 weeks now! I do have to say… I LOVE IT 🙂 Why do I love it? Creative Calming Hands-on You can create your own style of macramé with the collection of knots and patterns Gift Making Rewarding Beautiful And the list goes on… What I Learned This week’s project was a success! I created a macramé leaf wall hanging. It may look easy-peasy lemon-squeaky, but it was time-consuming and required patience and a love for macramé. I chose to use the following YouTube video to tackle my project. Please take a peek if you’d…

Welcome back! I just have to say it’s crazy the amount of creations you can make with a piece of cord! This week I chose to tackle the creation of glass coasters. I used Tiktok as my go to resource! Come along with me and see how this journey went 🙂 I got lost in this virtual world as I was seeking out a macramé coaster tutorial. Swipe…Swipe….Swipe…. OOOO FOUND ONE! What I learned 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) and 5 pieces of working cord at 30…

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! The first image shows me finally getting it, then I proceed to make a design with the knot and I completely fail. I spent lots of time on this knot and finally, I was able to create a zig-zag. This stitch will help me in the future by creating a macramé wall hanging. This image is a completed berry knot with a row of double half-hitch…

Welcome back! 🙂 Remember when I said my plans may change… well, they did! Instead of learning just one knot a week, I decided to tackle the lark’s head, square knot, spiral knot, berry knot, and the double half-hitch knot. This week was all about getting hands-on practice with the cord and building on my knotting skills. In order for me to learn how to craft these macramé knots, I followed an online resource I found through Pinterest, which directed me to a blog called How To Macrame – The Ultimate Beginner’s Guide. 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…
