Macrame and Crochet

You should know that Macrame and Crochet are two very popular trends for Spring/ Summer 2011. And you must know how to differentiate the two:

Simple! I shall do it by definition first:
Macrame- is a form of textile-making using knotting rather than weaving or knitting, usually in a geometrical pattern.

Crochet- is a process of creating fabric from yarn or thread by interlocking and looping thread with a hooked needle



Then, secondly let me hit you with the visual:

Macrame

Gucci

Malandrino's macrame sandals

Crochet

Ferragamo

Third option:
There are no more options for me to describe the difference between the two besides that you go and learn the art forms yourself.

Hopefully this two/ three step explaination of the two styles was very educational :)

Thought it was something nice to see.
