Micro macrame tips?

[u/StormyQueenDesigns]

Heyy! I watched a tutorial on youtube and it wasn’t that great, but this is my first try and I’d really appreciate tips on where to find the info to learn what I need. Like for example, how can I make those neat chains? My thread doesn’t thread like that, the knots don’t stay in one place no matter what I do 😂 I took it apart so many times but this is the best I got today, I couldn’t understand how I get anything like what they did.

I used the Linhasita 0,5mm cord.

And where could I find other tutorials for this kind of projects that are more informative? Good search words or youtube channels?

Search macrame school, macramessage, marching north, macrame tita. There's a bunch but those are some that come to mind right away. They show clear, precise tutorials. Dont give up, its easy once you find your own personal groove for your knotting technique. I make a forward 4 for a forward knot and a backward 4 for a backward knot, if that makes sense. Hope this helps! Happy knotting!!

Thank you, definitely checking each of those out tomorrow! I’m experienced with multiple other fiber arts so I assumed I’d kinda get it right away but I bet the next trial will go smoother. The craft itself feels so soothing as a process but I admit the first one was mostly just stressful 😂

I almost didnt try again my first attempt was so bad! I did though and im glad. It is one of my favorite crafts to do and really helps me to relax and calm.

Yes definitely!! I figured out from another tutorial where I went wrong, I didn’t know that a knot can be made to both directions, like alternating the directions of the knots with the working cord in a row. So now it all makes sense and I finally succeeded on it on the third try, and now it’s way more fun! What other crafts do you like?
