“Macramé is yoga for the mind,” according to this soothing manual. Strambio (Macramé Christmas) describes how the repetitive knotting involved in macramé helps her focus and “connects me to myself,” and she provides 17 projects aimed at fostering that meditative state of mind. They’re organized according to the amount of time required to complete them, with the bulky necklace made from lark’s head knots and the trivet created from double half hitch knots estimated to take less than 30 minutes. Intermediate projects that require less than an hour include a coaster, place mat, and plant hanger, while the most complex projects, which take more than an hour, include a coiled wall hanging, another hanging resembling a large feather, and a stout basket. Each project features reflection prompts encouraging readers to ponder such questions as “what colour do you feel today” and “what are you anxious or feeling negative about.” Breathing exercises urge readers to envision moonlight “wrapping you up in a warm and safe hug,” a butterfly “gently breaking” out of its cocoon, and roots sprouting from one’s feet and reaching into the earth. The prompts and exercises add a meditative spin on what would otherwise be a fairly straightforward macramé guide. This will help crafters unwind.
