Run for the hills…. Macrame is back!  How many of us still have those ghastly string concoctions lurking in cupboards gathering dust?  Onion holders, pot plant holders, macrame wall hangings; all in lovely shades of brown highlighted  with large Multi-coloured beads and dangly bits.

Thankfully the new style Macrame is far more subtle, and designed for delicate jewellery rather than kitchen accessories.  We have recently ordered three new titles for the library that look rather lovely, and would certainly add another skill to any crafters CV.  

I wonder how long it will be before classes are organised, string bought, and gorgeous macrame gifts appearing as birthday and Christmas presents?

If you place a reserve for any of these titles, just be aware that they have only just been ordered, so there may be a bit of a delay before they actually arrive in the library.  My excitement at the return of Macrame was so huge that I couldn’t hold back any longer.   And remember, you heard it here first!
