Rated 1 out of 5 by from Looked elsewhere for the how to Looked at this a couple of times to see if I was missing something. Without teaching me how to make the knots, doesn’t feel like this is teaching me anything. Either the instructions aren’t your face enough for this simple soul or I’m a step before ‘beginner’ in the macrame world.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Not for beginners ! I agree with other reviews that this tutorial is difficult to follow and the ‘how to do the knots” video is way to see how they are done, I gave up trying !
