Those just beginning to knot and those with experience creating macramé will enjoy this book of 20 projects from UK-based jewelry designer and self-taught macramé and natural dye artist Strambio (Macramé for the Modern Home). Strambio is committed to working with 100 percent recycled cotton string. Beginners will benefit from the knotting tutorials that are accompanied by step-by-step photographs. The book also includes lists for readers who want to use different materials. The projects range from simple bracelets and earrings to the more intricate statement pieces that require crafters to follow a pattern design.
VERDICT Strambio’s appreciation for the art of macramé and her encouragement for readers to give knotting a try and let mistakes be part of the unique quality of a hand-crafted piece make this book a celebration of creativity from start to finish.
