Tess it amazes me how related all these things are. I guess there just so many things that you can do with knots....or without ;-> . After tatting and bobbin lace this seems so natural...tightening stitches, flipping threads. I feel like I have done it all my life...now if iI can just become consistant with the cords.\
You did this in Greece.?! The only finger weaving that I have done is our own American Indian finger weaving......similar, but different materials. Interesting.Then there is Punjabi weaving from India. Obviously every culture, no matter, how remote has it's own. This also employs another macrame technique called Cavandoli....macrame in almost x-stitch patterns...using multi colored threads. I did that y-e-a-r-s ago dyeing my own cord. It was fun, too, and any that I did was very siimple....I never stay with much, to get very good at it. but I do have a great time.

And so it is, but of course much more imaginative and exciting than the traditional macrame/finger lace that we did in Greece. Still, the basic techniques are the same. Thanks for sharing these great pictures with us. Tess in Maine USA, where summer has finally come.
