Almost there with this stringy mess...

Yes, this tangled thing, it´s progressing and would even be finished by now if it wasn´t for one giant batch of cookies that had to be made (om nom nom).
So, for the first time in 20 years I´m doing a macrame plant hanging because we´re real short of places to put our plants without them being pwned by the little owlet. Yeah, macrame seems to be dead as any other dodo, nobody seems to do it nowadays and I begin to think it was far outfashioned even back then when I was taught how to make it back at school (must have been around ´89 or ´90, OMG!!11). The pic doesn´t do the actual color any justice, in fact it´s a vibrant burgundy and not a flat excuse for a red.

Today I managed to get all the straps done and start with making (macrame-ing??) the part where the basket will be placed which is something you´ll need much concentration for to make it as even as possible. So far, I´m pretty satisfied with how it turns out, anyhow, there´s so much still on my to-do-list before the end of this year that I hope to finish it soon.
