Let Mod Knots show you all there is to love about macramé!
This is definitely not one of my mother's macramé books from the sixties, which were good but limited in their projects. I have been looking for a good "Macramé" book that offers simple straightforward instructions. However, I also wanted updated and trendy wearable projects. This book met those requirements and more. "Mod Knots" has twenty-five fun and useful projects. The projects vary from a beginner level belt project to the more advance wire knotting jewelry projects.
The step-by-step photography is excellent, as well as the written instructions. I really loved that the author lists each knot and it's corresponding page number for each project. I can look at the knots and figure out if I have the time and attention span to tackle that project
My favorite project is the "Turquoise Donut & Wire" bracelet on page 57. Knotting with wire was challenging but the finished project was well worth the effort. I have one small hint for working with wire that I learned doing this project. Work in warm temperatures, here in Sunny California that is usually every day. If you live or work in a cold climate, you may want to turn on the heater. Cold temperatures make the wire brittle and break easily.
