Well, skill makes sense. It seems more organized too though xD.

Macrame sounds interesting :o. I never thought about actually knotting string into stuff.

What do you do after the first round? Make two chains then crochet into the first stitch not stitched into..?

Yes, exactly. If you're doing rounds instead of rows--such as for a hat--reverse the front post and back post instructions (back post is front post, and front post is back post) because you aren't going to turn your work around, you'll just keep going in a spiral

I don't know how I feel about macrame...

Thanks for the instructions! I'm learning crocheting terminology I otherwise would never touch this way too xD!

The macrame pictures on google look pretty, but stiff for things like clothes. The carpets and fancy rope stuff look good though :o

Did you figure out the cabling? And if you need help with any terminology, that's what I'm here for.

Cabling...no ><'

I had a hard time figuring out which hole is what hole ><. I ended up making one thing of semi-x's and then forgot to stop doing the front and back thing so I had x's on the bottom and just lines in the middle, woops.

The second row are just lines, you're doing it right! You just go back and do the 'x's on the next row of wherever you are. The 'x' is the twisty bit when you do the cable, it really doesn't matter where you put them, as long as you line them up with your first 'x's.

As for the stitches, you usually go under the 'v' shape, but you can use the posts, too. Like, the chain will look like this from the top, for example: >>>>>>>> Two legs make up one stitch. You don't have to stick the hook in under both at the same time, you can do it one at a time, if you want. It won't change the end project.

*rolls around*
I finished a fox! Yay! My first one ever, too!

Alright! 8D That's always fun. How'd it turn out? Up to expectations, I hope?

The legs are a little crooked, but it's adorable!
Definitely impressed with how it turned out.

I like macrame! : D I can do that one

Excellent!

What's your favorite knotting method?

-pokes her head in-
