Wow, the macrame lampshade is really shaping up. It is a bit amusing that you have to stand on the trampoline to be able to work on it.

It's actually tiring to stand on the trampoline because my weight is always shifting a little (it's not stable). Standing on a chair would be too high. Maybe a step stool would be better. :-)

That is so pretty!

Thanks. I've always liked the look of macrame.

Your lampshade is coming along nicely!

[egg_shell]

Slow but sure. I have had to redo SO much as I feel like I'm relearning it all over again.

[rhodielady_47]

There's an added advantage to going slowly. It's a lot easier to keep your thread tension even.

That is going to be so cool. I haven't done macrame in decades, kind of want to try it again.

[egg_shell]

If you do it I hope you remember how to do it better than I did. I feel like I'm learning all over again.

Oh, I think I'll have to watch some videos or something. It's been a really long time.

I hope you'll post progress pics periodically, I would love to see the finished project.

Your hands must be healing nicely. I think my thumbs would complain. It's gorgeous, by the way.

It just depends on what I'm doing. Repetitive things like crochet and knitting aren't good for me anymore. I get lots of numbness when I'm doing that. Macrame seems to be better. Maybe because you are switching hand and finger movements frequently with macrame.
