In a tangle

 Today was mini club. And the workshop was a macrame plant hanger.

'How hard can it be?', I thought.

Much harder than I imagined it would seem, even for someone who remembers the 70s and Golden Hands magazine.

Flatlay including several colours of twine, printed instructions for a miniature macrame plant hanger and various items to complete the kit.
It all seemed easy enough: although I was confronted by the fact that the smaller-scale version only came in red.

Then I was faced with a yarn octopus...

some knotty problems,

and, finally, and hopefully

something that resembles

a plant hanger?

I need to shove a plant pot in it and see if I made the correct number of knots. And process the realisation that my eyes are getting old 😒
