It was another macrame class, this time learning the Josephine knot, which has several other names that I've forgotten!
We used a lovely silky cord for this one. I spent ages getting all my knots nice and straight and butting up together nicely. Then I put it on and it stretched slightly and suddenly there were gaps between the knots!!
I think if you want the knots to all butt up nicely, you have to do the knots really, really tightly to begin with. Or glue them.
I really do like it though, even with the gaps.

That's one very attractive knot! I think the Bead Shop need to start paying you to mention their name. I'm not a jewelery crafter and I live on the other side of the world, but I still want to take their classes ;-)
Oh my goodness, it's been so many years since I did any macrame that I'd have to learn the knots all over again. (It was all the rage when I was a teen in the 70s.) Love your bracelet and I adore that little star you used for the closure. And when I saw the first photo, I thought you'd put the gaps in there on purpose so that it would look like chains linking.
That's cute, Wendy - that type of design would make a great belt as well!
Brilliant. These will make fabulous presents.
Wow you did a great job!!! Macrame' and knotting eludes me. It's like a dyslexia thing. That's why I don't knit or crochet.
Very cute :) and amaizing blog! :)

That's a really nice knot! I only walked past the Bead Shop today as it happnes, and I will do again tomorrow after my skate lesson on my way to get Frappuccino happy hour...
That is ADORABLE.
They're very pretty knots, and I agree, a belt would be lovely
I'd give it a ten out of ten for knot too bad :)
