A wall hanging I did. Pretty okay I think?

I'm relatively new to macrame, but I thought I'd try my hand at designing my own pattern!

There's a few things I think I'll change when I use actual chord, but I think it looks okay enough to share here.

I'm still working on getting my knots to look nice and tidy, and I didn't really do anything to get the fringe to look good... But other than that, is there anything glaringly wrong with my pattern that should be fixed? Please let me know!

Tips for using DMC thread for Macrame

I can't cross stitch anymore so I'm starting macrame again. I've got hundreds of DMC thread. I would think they could work for bracelets, but I don't know the easiest way to manipulate them. Is there an easy way to use the thinner threads?

I find working with the larger threads much easier, but I really don't want to waste all this other thread. Also, if you have links to patterns using the thread, I'd appreciate the post.

Cat Swing!

This was my first real project (apart from learning and practicing some square knots on hemp jewelry cord) and I'm so happy with it. My cats love it too. I accidentally had an unreasonable amount of leftover cord from cutting the pieces too long, so I used them as filler to make a climbing rope for my cats too. I wish I could add videos, because I recorded my kitten having the time of his life!

First medieval style headpiece

I’ve been playing a lot of Baldur’s Gate 3 lately and it inspired me to make this vine brain-esq headpiece ✨🌿

I messed up the tension a bit in the center and that’s why it’s wonky but this one will be for me and I now know how to go about the next one better:))

Also pls ignore my very grown out roots 😭

Help a beginner with tying off project?

I am completely new to this hobby and I am trying to make my own hand fasting cord. So far I have the finished braids and knots I want. The problem is I don’t know how to remove it from the dowel and tie it off and I don’t know how to tie off the other end. I cannot find any videos or picture tutorials. Unfortunately written word instructions just do not make any sense to me. I used a ten strand braid so what’s the best way to go about this so I don’t lose all of my work? I have spent longer trying to find a tutorial to tie off than it took to actually make the thing.
Thank you for your assistance.

I made some Goddess dolls 😊

I made some little string poppets in different colors, one water themed, one calming, and one fiery. I just wanted to show them off. What colors would you associate with a goddess?

What’s missing ?

Hi, I need your advice please.

I feel like this needs something more, but I can’t think about anything. It’s my second project ever, and the first I do creatively, so it’s a bit simple in that regard. So if you have any advice for me, please give me details 🙏 Edit : I am just talking about the skirt, I will be making a macramé crop top

What kind of stitch is this?

Hi all!

My mom was working on this project before she died. It was laying around my house for years and I recently decided I want to finish it.

I know nothing about macrame but would love to learn so I can finish this project.

I've been trying to find a tutorial on what kind of stitch she was using to make it but I haven't had any luck. I would really appreciate any guidance anyone could give me!!!

Thanks :)
