a wide range of projects and a great review of the basics - which is always what you want in a crafting book.

I made a macramé owl at primary school. We were also lucky enough to learn other crafts like copper art, basket weaving and knitting, most of which haven’t been taught for years now.
My sister has been getting into macramé, so I have a few plant hangers about which have bowls in them to store things in.
I have some op shop macramé books on my shelf and this practical guide to get me started again.
Inspiring info, projects and décor.

It was fine. Katz struck me as a "live laugh love" kinda gal, which is not my jam. The instructions seem clear, though I didn't test any of them. Most of the projects don't appeal to my aesthetic, but there were a handful. Even though it's titled modern macrame, it still seems very 70s to me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Not for me, but maybe it's for you?

Two stars for the gorgeous photography. Most of the projects were larger scale, which didn’t appeal to me. I wish the attention that went into the photos and layout went into the projects. I would have loved if each had a pattern like Modern Macramé does.

This book has easy to follow instructions with lots of pictures, which I love! I appreciate the style of the projects and the variety of patterns in this book. There were lots of options for all levels of macrame artists. The author does a good job of explaining different knots that I felt confident free styling a few pieces on my own. This is a great book to learn with!

Beautiful photos, interesting projects, helped me learn that I don't really like macrame.

This is a wonderful book about macrame - plant hangers, curtains, even hammock and chairs. It introduces the art of making macrame knots to beginners and has interesting projects for advanced macrame "knotters" alike.
Review based on a NetGalley ARC provided by the publishers.

One of my first jobs was working as a craft maven at a summer camp. The craft Tsar was Zena (her real name) and she was an expert at macrame. She had patterns for everything. Growing up macrame was just for plant hangers, but she had hammocks, giraffes, owls, etc. You wanted it she could know it. And now that tradition lives on. What was thought as 70’s chic is now millennial modern. Yes plant hangers are back, and so are baskets and bags. This book is simply lovely. Organized in an easy to understand way, with lots of pictures explaining various knots and knot tying methods.

The photographs are absolutely amazing, but many of these are definitely projects that will be statement pieces and not just decoration. I also think I would have list out and further break down the instructions to keep the pattern, but I might be spoiled by the kits I've bought from a local artist.
