Mod Knots : Creating Jewelry and Accessories with Macrame

Another age-old craft is revamped for the hip crafter who may not have been around to enjoy it the first time around. But projects in this book - from a funky black leather cuff to a summery bamboo-handle purse, and delicate wire chandelier earrings to a vibrant handspun yarn scarf - will appeal to crafters of all ages, not just the younger set. After a step-by-step rundown of all of the basic knots needed to create the projects, readers will be introduced to 25 wearable projects including jewellery, personal accessories and even a halter-top, using a variety of materials.
