You may have noticed a craze that's tying the design world into knots. Macrame' - the art of knotting string in patterns to make decorative items - is taking over the universe! In its most popular forms, the wall hangings and pot holders are popping up everywhere. And when used with cool materials such as rope, jute, leather and wool, they can look quite spectacular. I particularly like them in unexpected forms, such as light fittings, screens and chairs. There are lots of workshops popping up for people keen to learn the craft. You can also find simple tutorials on youtube. Have a go and see what you can create.
