Year of Knots - Windy Chien

Instructions and projects that celebrate the diverse beauty and creative possibilities of macrame and knots \n \n \n \n Every day for a year, artist Windy Chien learned to tie a new kind of \n knot and then shared the results on Instagram-revolutionizing knot art \n and reinventing her life and career in the process. In The Year of Knots, \n Chien describes how her knot-making project led her on a path of \n discovery. The book combines projects, tutorials, and transformative \n personal stories, all aimed at inspiring readers to make knotting-and \n creativity in general-part of a meditative daily practice. The knots in \n the book are gorgeously documented step-by-step for the many knot- and \n macrame -obsessed readers out there wanting to try it themselves. \n Knotted projects abound: a necklace, a key chain, a dog leash, along \n with wall hangings and a hanging light. At the heart of the story is the \n simple, empowering idea that a single year is all the time you need to \n make a life-changing creative leap. \n
