Crafting A Business

I have always wanted to learn macrame, but never really had the opportunity as time was valuable, and with two jobs and a photography background, it never happened. That was until I got ill. I wont go into the details, but what I can say is I was bedridden, for over 12 weeks. In that time my boredom quickly evolved from watching movies, to feeling like I really needed to do something. Macrame! the perfect thing to keep me and my hands occupied. I learnt by watching several youtube videos and got to knotting. I experimented with knots and different types of thread, and literally covered the house in hangers. My friends loved them, including one particular stylish friend. I knew I had to find the perfect neon pink for him and was super happy to find some reclaimed jersey in a local craft shop- Perfect!
