    Wonderful instruction! I've been watching macreme videos with nothing but frustration. Until your video popped up. Thank you very much, you are appreciated.

    Seeing the square knot, I realized that's the knot that everyone uses to make paracord bracelets... And you finally explained and showed it in a way that my brain can follow.

      I too have a brain reversing everything, Left and right, up or down I have to exercise 1 million times:) for the most simple things. The good thing is once I got it the technique stays:)

    • @adondriel
      @adondriel 6 лет назад +1

      I'm pretty sure that's actually a really bad way to wrap parachord, in terms of actual use, aside from looks. You have to knot paracord in a way that is able to be undone in a single pull, not sure if you can do that with the square knot.

    • @OliverJazzz
      @OliverJazzz 6 лет назад +1

      99% of people use paracord bracelets for decorative purposes only, so this is actually a great way to make them, paracord is most often just a material among others. Besides, the first two weaves aren't that hard to take apart at all.

      @@vulcanswork I am exactly the same. What looks like behind, to me looks like in front, up, down, left, right, top, bottom. Ugg so frustrating. This great, but different color cords would help even more.

    I used to do macrame in high school and can remember hooking my cord to a kitchen cabinet knob and having a plant hanger in an hour, knowing the knots. Knowledge forgotten I knew RUclips wouldn't let me down. But your using rope to show us a large version was GENIUS! Thank you so much. I'm really hoping you have demos of more knots thank you SO much. Subscribed!

    Thank you so very much, I bet I've watched a couple dozen tutorials over the past three days. As I am desperately attempting to make a macrame plant hanger. Yet , regardless of the video, I simply could not see, nor understand exactly what or which cord to use at the end of the "4". I don't know if it was the agagerated cord size, or your method of explanation, but " by george I think I've got it". Seriously though, Thank you very much, I'm off to create, what I hope to be a beautiful plant hanger........ so excited :-) You're the best,
    very grateful, Barb

  • @deborahmusgrove5937

    You are an excellent teacher! Additionally, how you have your cords set up for demonstration was the best I have ever seen. I use to macrame in the 70's, but now I would like to get back into it. All my books on it are gone, so I started watching RUclips and your demonstration was the best so far. Keep up the great work!

    Excellent job, thank you! You're a natural teacher. I was so confused watching other videos on the half hitch knot. Some of those people talked for 3.5 minutes before they tied the first knot. I wanted to run far away! They may know how, but have no idea how to teach it! I was left glassy eyed! Thanks for making it uncomplicated and understandable. ~Jaclen

Instructor's voice is pleasant to listen to and doesn't sound like he's bored with what he's doing.
