    oooer! I posted on here this morning and now its gone. I said: Folly and Jenny later on when I have time I will make some more and then when I have I will contact you both and get your addresses to send you one each. No problem, however, I do not know when I shall have time to make them so you will have to be patient with me and remind me come the autumn when I should have more time available.:)

      Practice makes perfect Aesculus. Now how about trying the macrame one with twists or flat four string to each support anyway you know what I mean like my ones. It is quite easy once you get the hang of it. But you are doing well for making emergency ones. They serve their purpose quite well. Well done. :)

        You are way ahead of me Aesculus. I have had the nerve to start yet . But I'm gonna have a go soon. I fancy growing some little tomatoes in a basket and a nice little container would look so right I think. Well done . You are my inspiration too,:wub2:

        Try this Aesculus: Take four bits of string and lay them flat, any length will do to practice. Now take the two outside and tie infront of the other two strands and then you do the same only taking the two outside strings and tie them behind the two strands. You keep repeating that until you have a knotted length of macrame. I know this is not easy to describe so I hope that is self explanatory. Have fun.:)
