#macrame

Continued thread

Other examples of crafts which are treated with contempt:
* Loom knitting - marketed to kids
* Hook-knitting (aka "knooking") - also marketed to kids
* Machine-knitting - low-end machines marketed to kids
* Macrame when it is called "friendship bracelets" (only done by kids) but not when it is called "paracord knotting" (because this version is done by The Mens and therefore has status) (YES they are BOTH macrame)

Any other examples you can think of?

j’ai trouvé ce tuto très sympa sur Youtube, un peu chiant pour préparer les fils, et encore plus chiant de suivre les étapes de réalisation en vidéo, mais j’aime bien le résultat.
D’ailleurs tous les tutos #macrame sont en vidéo, c’est vraiment lourd, pas possibles de trouver des explications ou des diagrammes (pour le micromacramé)

Hey look!
It’s an actual proper #macramé thing!

Due to rounded corners, diagonal walls, and an inconveniently placed closet, i can’t fit a table next to my side of the bed, but I needed a place to put my phone and glasses at night, so I made this, which I can hang off a hook near the bed.

Cool.

And now I’m all ready for Christmas…or something.

More #macramé practice, back to the thread, not bad, but a few oppsie spots.

I think I’m running out of smallish projects I can just play around with though.

It’s another #macramé thing!

I started out thinking I wanted to do one thing but then changed my mind, so the colors are kinda funky. I still need some work on keeping knots consistent on both sides, & the yarn was terrible & crinkly, but I think I learned a lot with this one, so I’m happy.

Probably better to practice yarn rather than thread so i can see the knots better.

It’s ok, def need more practice keeping tension consistent.
Also doesn’t help that I’m half designing this little guy as i go by cobbling together a couple different patterns

🧶Laboratorio aperto e condiviso di uncinetto, maglia, macrame e ricamo.

❕Porta il tuo lavoro o impara insieme a noi.

✨Riappropriamoci di antiche pratiche in chiave ecologista e femminista!

Contrastiamo consumismo e fast fashion a colpi di dritto e rovescio. Risignifichiamo una pratica antica, che chiudeva le nostre madri e le nostre nonne fra le mura di casa, condividendo materiali e conoscenze in uno spazio pubblico e politico. Creiamo simboli e indumenti per la militanza.

❕ecco i prossimi appuntamenti:
