Slow moving steam ship
Things are moving slow as far as my frugality goes.
Not that I'm out of ideas (that never happens!), just that my body refuses to co-operate.
In the last week I have had heat exhaustion, and I have broken my toe.
In the last week I have completed a macrame knot for the hammock and a slow-cooked dinner.
Anyway here is the macrame, I'm pretty proud of it!
Now... so that no one else has to go through the pain and suffering I did trying to figure out what the frugality it was called and where on this frugal earth to find a simple drawing or images of how to do this stupidity I will explain it in the following;
This is called a "clew knot" it is macrame. If you want to look it up look up "clew knot"... don't look up "hammock braid" like I did.... It is horribly frustrating!
This is what I first came up with.... http://www.ehow.com/how_5243614_braid-support-ropes-connect-hammock.html
I don't know about you guys but I HATE e-how. They tend to be the only ones with information but no images of what you are doing and a very very wordy explanation which really doesn't make any sense...
After searching some stuff about "macrame" I got my answer... http://www.free-macrame-patterns.com/clew-knot.html
Here's my simple explanation of this "knot".... It's a bloody WEAVE! Forward and backward. Over and under. If someone just said that to me I could have figured it out on my own!
That's my rant for the day... Cheers.
