My latest project

Back when I lived in a boat, I used to have a lot of plant hangers, because there was basically no space to put the plants anywhere except hanging up, and they were in vogue then so easy to find. And I still have the hangers and most are still in use around the house. But I’m sure I have another stored away somewhere and I just can’t find it now that I want it!
I wanted to hang up my rosary vine that is getting longer and longer. I looked for the hanger, to no avail, then I hoped it would just turn up when I was looking for something else, but still no luck. So in the end I was forced to give up.
I looked at buying one, but then I changed my mind and decided I would have a go at making one instead, after a bit of online research I decided it didn’t look that hard.
I bought a 50 m ball of cotton macrame cord and found some step-by-step instructions for an easy design. I haven’t tried macrame since I had a very brief attempt in school needlework. Has anyone else done much? Here's the beginning!

Of all the crafts I've done, I never tried macrame. And being a shorty, if I ever hung plants I'd have to step on a stool or chair to water them. The window sill above the kitchen sink is high enough.

@Fleura As do I but I need a stepladder to clean the tops of the cupboards, or to change lightbulbs in ceiling fixtures.

I have only done it a little. I remember a yarn plant hanger mom tied, pre macrame days. I think I duplicated it at one point, but that was over fifty years ago. I wonder if I still could.

Macrame was one craft I never tried. Looks like you have a good beginning. Have a good day.
