Adorable Macrame - Stacy Malimban
About the Author
IllustrationHi there! I’m Stacy, the artist and owner of Knotty By Nature and author of Knotting Natural Bags and Belts. I’m so thrilled to be able to bring you Adorable Macramé, my second book. My knotty journey with macramé fiber art began when I was planning my Camp Boho
themed wedding with my nowhusband. It was then that I dreamed of creating a macramé backdrop that would be hung from a wooden teepee arbor as I married the man of my dreams. I envisioned modern macramé table runners to dress up our farm tables during our reception as our loved ones gathered for dinner. Lastly, a small keepsake for our guests who helped us tie the knot
would be macramé keychains for them to take home. All of this sounded perfect in my mind; however, at the time we were wedding planning, I didn't know how to macramé, let alone tie a single knot.
While on our honeymoon, I mentioned to my husband that I was still interested in learning how to macramé, even if the designs could no longer be used for our wedding. I had this strong desire to learn the art form and a short while after we returned home, I picked up a few supplies from a local arts and crafts store and learned a few basic knots. From there, I was hooked. Macramé soon became a creative outlet for me and what began as a hobby transformed into a knotty small business. I remember the exact moment when I decided to take that leap of faith in becoming a small business owner. It was post-spin class, and my sister was driving us to grab some lunch when she suggested that I create an Instagram to showcase my designs. I immediately laughed at the idea, thinking that no one would be interested in seeing my art flood their Instagram feed.
After a few words of encouragement, I decided what’s the worst that could happen? I could very well just delete my Instagram if it didn’t take off. So, there we sat, brainstorming business name ideas while listening to hip hop music in the background. A few ideas were tossed around until I said under my breath, Knotty By Nature,
and that was the exact moment that sparked it all. I combined my passion for macramé fiber art, my love for nature and hip-hop music, and a witty pun as the business name: it was perfect. Not long after I created my Instagram account, I launched my Etsy shop and began selling my handmade macramé designs. Fast forward five years later, I’m even more passionate about macramé than I was when I first started. I enjoy creating knotty designs that reflect the different stages in my life. From starting out creating macramé designs for weddings, such as backdrops, veils, bouquets, and boutonniere wraps, my art has since transformed into creating knotty designs for nursery rooms.
I love being able to share my passion for macramé with my knotty community through teaching workshops. It’s an incredibly rewarding feeling to be able to share my knowledge, skill, and tips and tricks that I’ve learned along the way, as I guide others in creating their very own knotty design. The knotty possibilities with macramé are endless and I’m excited to continue to grow as an artist.
I would love to have you be a part of my knotty journey! You can find me on Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest, and YouTube (@knotty_by_nature) or my website, https://www.knottybynaturemacramedesigns.com/
