Macramé & Succulents
🌿
Macramé
Macramé is a form of textile produced using knotting
(rather than weaving or knitting) techniques.
The primary knots of macramé are the square (or reef
knot) and forms of "hitching": various combinations of half hitches. It
was long crafted by sailors, especially in elaborate or ornamental
knotting forms, to cover anything from knife handles to bottles to parts
of ships.
Cavandoli macramé is one variety that is used to form
geometric and free-form patterns like weaving. The Cavandoli style is
done mainly in a single knot, the double half-hitch knot. Reverse half
hitches are sometimes used to maintain balance when working left and
right halves of a balanced piece.

Succulents
In botany, succulent plants, also known as
succulents, are plants with parts that are thickened,
fleshy, and engorged, usually to retain water in arid climates or soil
conditions. It is a characteristic that is not used scientifically for
the definition of most families and genera of plants because it often
can be used as an accurate characteristic only at the single species
level.
In horticultural use, the term succulent is sometimes
used in a way that excludes plants that botanists would regard as
succulents, such as cacti.
Succulents are often grown as ornamental plants because
of their striking and unusual appearance, as well as their ability to
thrive with relatively minimal care.
