Mindful Macramé: Create, Journal and Unwind Through Meditative Knotting

Bringing the simplicity of knot-based crafting to the forefront with another book of lovely projects for knotting enthusiasts, Strambio (Macramé Jewellery; Macramé for the Modern Home) melds creative projects with something many living in our modern world seek—mindfulness and self-reflection. Instructions for eye-catching projects ranging from simple flower decorations, trivets, and key chains to the more skilled plant hangers, wall hangings, and baskets guide crafters through steps, with recommendations for materials to make the most of your art and paired with prompts for journaling reflectively. This book might not scream “beginner macramé,” even with clear step-by-step pictures of the projects, because not every crafter finds knots easy to grasp, though paired with other books on the topic by Strambio and other macramé experts, it would easily give enough instruction to get novices started. As is recommended at the beginning of each project in the book, take three deep breaths and get ready to enjoy some relaxing craft time.
