@@CraftedbyCeri I guess I don’t know the name of it but it’s very interesting and so cute it’s just by itself by the mirror do you have a pattern for that?

[@CraftedbyCeri]

@@kerrieinverso1350 No, I can remake it but it was just a little experiment one time that I made up. It uses a crown knot.

Perfect !! Thank you Ceri !! Do you have a pattern for a 3 tier plant hanger..hahaa I see one reflected in your mirror !! Looks beautiful !!

[@CraftedbyCeri]

Good eye! That was my first ever Macramé project I made which was totally freestyle inspired by a few videos on basic plant hangers. I tried to jump to expert straight away lol!! I’ll look at my notes and see if I have the measurements for you! I’d love to revisit this, it has loads of imperfections in that remind me of how i started to learn ❤️

[@CraftedbyCeri]

Sharon Swanson are you on social media? I’ve got some pictures, no original measurements, I checked. But I have made a guesstimate from looking over it. I didn’t make that many knots bar the top design.

[@vidhyahemmady948]

Yes, very useful. This is the way even I measure 1 metre.

[@alfiyakhan9184]

If i want to cut 2m cord so i need to measure 4m

[@CraftedbyCeri]

Alfiya Khan measure using one body measure, perhaps from one hand to the opposite shoulder like I did, once you’ve measured it once, you’ll always have a shortcut without a ruler to measure your rope. Give it a try

[@user-bb5wq6vw5f]

Yes,yes.🎉

[@user-nq7tf4dg1r]

My mother measured fabric the exact same way! 🤣 👃🏼
