This week's Photo Hunters theme of the week was, "hobby." I have many hobbies that I enjoy so it was a difficult choice. I thought about doing something dealing with photography, but then I saw TNChick's amazing choice and decided on something else. Just so happens that tonight I was tying some macramé to give away as a present. I really enjoy doing it. So it an easy choice for The Hunt.
The Hunt - Hobby
mac·ra·mé –noun - an elaborately patterned lacelike webbing made of hand-knotted cord, yarn, or the like, and used for wall decorations, hanging baskets, garments, accessories, etc.
I've been doing it for years. I taught myself using this terrific book.. I make bracelets, anklets, necklaces & chokers, key chains and bookmarks. I like varying patterns, beads, and dangles. It's a lot of fun and pretty easy to learn. And the results make nice, inexpensive gifts.

That's a great hobby and it looks really nice ! Good idea for gifts !
That is really cool.
I haven't tried macrame for years! That's because I wasn't very good at it. Yours looks very professional.
Very cool! That looks lovely. :) That sounds like a fun hobby. :)
It seems hard to learn macrame from a book! But it sounds like a fun hobby, and great for gifts too.
Wow, cool! You can make your own gifts then :-)
Having never been a "crafty" person, I've always admired people who are :)
Have a great weekend!
Oh, i like the way you showed the before and after. I bet that helps take your mind off things while making those,
Wow that was like magic! So that's what macrame is! Thanks, I learned something :) Happy Hunting
Lovely! :) Very cool hobby. :) I did a bit of macrame back when I was a Girl Guide - it was lots of fun to make various items. Haven't done it in years, however.
oh gosh I did that many years ago...my middle daughter started that using hemp twine...pretty cool stuff.....
thanks for sharing...
I bet you make some very lovely gifts with your macrame talents! What a great hobby you have!
Wonderful, beautiful hobby!
I'm always so amazing when I see those.
Earlier this week I was snarky about macrame at my blog, but that's lovely and not at all like a macrame owl!
That is really nice!! My newphew does this as well and loves it.
Happy Weekend!
That's so pretty! I've never tried macrame, but your pictures make me want to give it a shot! Thanks for stopping by.
That is much cooler than the macreme my mom did when I was young. My goodness those things were albatrosses aroun our necks until she realized that it was all right to move on. :)
I remember doing the fine macrame for necklaces back in college. My daughter, now 21 found some of them and wanted to wear them today! It was an inexpensive bit of fun.
Hi Ann: I enjoy giving and receiving homemade gifts because they are so much more meaningful. You are really good at that!
Very cool! I like that you can probably start and finish one thing in one sitting.
Thanks for visiting my biking pictures for the hunt today!
I did some macrame when I was a kid. Such a fun, and useful, hobby. Thanks for stopping by today.
Oh my gosh, I used to do this a ton back in the day. Nice to see it revived, I always thought it was pretty cool.
BTW- love the look fo your blog.
That is so awesome. I have never tried it, but is sure looks fun :)
Have a wonderful Sunday afternoon.
What lovely craftwork! And such a great idea to give as presents, I'm sure the recipients appreciate the thought that went into it.
That's lovely! It looks like an interesting hobby. They would certainly make ideal give away for parties. Thanks for sharing.
