M is for... Macrame
This was not my most successful project. I'm not terrifically good at knotting so an entire craft revolving around knotting clearly wasn't going to bode well for me. But, this project has always been about learning new things and working outside my comfort zone. So, I went for it. I combed through Pinterest for good macrame ideas. There are tons of them, of course. I eventually decided on this one for a macrame planter. I love succulent plants so the prospect of having a cool planter to put them was appealing. The directions looked so easy when I read them! Stretch out the jersey fabric, roll it up, knot it? Piece of cake! Actually doing this, however, was something else entirely. Stretching the fabric was perfectly doable but I was clearly doing it wrong because it didn't roll up, it was stretched too thin. So, instead, I leave the strips as they were and used those. My planter was, as a result, a lot bulkier than what was pictured. So, macrame was not my best project but at least I tried!
